An experiment was conducted at Kenana Sugarcane Research Farm in season 2006/07 with the objective to evaluate the efficacy of Pendimight 50 EC (a new formulation of pendimethalin) in tank mixture with Gesaprim 80 WP (atrazine) for pre-emergence weed control in sugarcane. In addition to the counterpart (Stomp 500 EC + Gesaprim 80 WP), the standard (Gesapax 80 WP + Gesaprim 80 WP), the hand-weeded and the unweeded control treatments were included for comparison. The tank mixture of Pendimight 50 EC at 0.625 kg a.i/fed with Gesaprim 80 WP at 0.6 kg a.i/fed consistently showed excellent control of grassy weeds (84 - 97%) and poor to excellent control of broad-leaved weeds (48 _ 91%).The herbicides treatments revealed no adverse effects on the plant cane. Pendimight 50 EC at 0.625 kg a.i/fed in tank mixture with Gesaprim 80 WP at 0.6 kg a.i/fed significantly out-yielded the weedy check and attained cane yield comparable to that of the standard treatment and its counterpart
