Maize (Zea mays) is the most valuable and important crop, the sown surfaces show a high degree of infestation with annual and perennial weeds. Weeds are usually characterized by rapid and abundant seed production, spread easily and grow quickly. They usually have very well developed root systems and are adapted to most pedoclimatic conditions. The researches were carried out in the experimental field from NARDI Fundulea, in the pedoclimatic conditions existing in the south of the country. The main objective of the work is to study the selectivity and effectiveness of herbicide treatments on the fight against annual and perennial weeds present in the maize crop. The use and application of herbicide treatments must be correlated with the degree of infestation, the spectrum and dominance of weed species and the pedoclimatic conditions in the research area.
