Chickpeas are a small plant with slow growth rates, the passage of phenophases falls within time intervals, which can be influenced by soil and climate conditions. The research took place in the years 2019-2020, at A.R.D.S. Teleorman, being studied the combinations and associations of herbicides applied to chickpea culture. The experiment was placed on a fertile chernozem vertric soil with good fertility (more than 3,1% humus, clay content more than 42% on the horizon 0-24 cm, pH-> 5.9), using the Burnas chickpea variety. The forerunner was autumn wheat. Chickpea plants are very easily competed by weeds within the first days of emergence. The influence of weeding in the first 2-3 weeks after emergence has an influence on production even if the culture can be kept clean later on. To achieve good effectiveness in weed control in chickpeas culture, herbicides must be applied correctly taking into account their mechanism of action and control spectrum. Biometric determinations performed on nodes highlight the difference in bacterialization between the experimental variants and productivity elements of the chickpea plant.
