| Summary: | Abstract. Chemical control has emerged as the most efficient method of weed control. Herbicides combinations and tank mixtures of herbicides with
adjuvants, fertilizers, growth regulators, fungicides, insecticides are more effective than when applied alone on sorghum crops. Their combined use often leads
to high synergistic effect on yield. The use of herbicide antidotes for the treatment of seeds in sorghum is a safe way to overcome its high sensitivity to many
herbicides. Data regarding herbicide for chemical control of annual graminaceous weeds in sorghum crops are quite scarce even worldwide. Problem is the
persistence of some herbicides used in the predecessors on succeeding crops, which is directly related to the weather conditions during their degradation.
Most of the information on sorghum relates to the conventional technology for weed control. There is no information about the new Concep technology in grain
sorghum. A serious problem is also the volunteers of the Clearfield and Express sun sunflower. They have resistance to herbicides different from that of
conventional sunflower hybrids. There is no information yet in scientific literature on control of these volunteers.
