Abstract: This experiment was conducted, during two seasons 2012/2013 and 2013/2014, at Gedarif Agricultural Research Station Farm under rainfed conditions, to evaluate the efficacy and selectivity of post-emergence application of Focus Ultra 100 EC (Cyclocxydim), for grassy weeds control in sesame. The tested herbicide gave excellent control (more than 90%) of grassy weeds, and poor control of broadleaved weeds. Unrestricted weed growth reduced sesame grain yield by up to 75%. Focus ultra at rate of 1, 25 L/fed product, with one supplementary handweeding to the treated plots improved weeds control and increase sesame yield.
