The use of alfalfa as predecessors for winter wheat leads to the increase of weed infestation of its cultivation in the result of frequent cutting out of the culture during three years of use. It was shown that of winter wheat yields have had a higher level of weed infestation after non fallow predecessors with inadequate coverage of soil surface. Therefore they demand high-priority protection from weed sprouts. None of the studied herbicides was able to provide reliable protection of wheat crops from bromes (Bromus tectorum L.), as well as a sticky weed (Galium aparine L.). The tank mix of herbicides (Esteron – 0.8 l/ha + Puma Super – 0.8 l/ha) provides a reliable protection for winter wheat crops from many types of short-lasting weeds including the cattail grass (Setaria pumila L.), water grass (Echinochloa crusgalli L.). A significant suppressive effect on cereal weeds Super was registered for the herbicide Ellay.
