Weeds in sugar beet ( Beta vulgaris L.) can contribute to a significant reduction the root yield. The species composition of these plants is an important factor influencing competition with crops. aim 2-year field experiment mixtures of: phenmedipham + ethofumesate metamitron quinmerac; quinmerac triflusulfuron-methyl; triflusulfuron-methyl clopyralid lenacil, and applied split doses, microdoses Conviso Smart technology was determine weed community effectiveness control strategies. most common occurring both years were: Chenopodium album L., Fallopia convolvulus Geranium pusillum L. communities had highest values biodiversity indices 2020 lower 2021. There were no statistically differences herbicidal tested technologies over research for individual main – 95–99%. use all herbicide variants contributed achieving significantly higher yields than untreated treatments, increase profitability cultivation, but this result depended on selected strategy. presented solutions characterized by direct income at similar level.
