Abstract (AB)	Cyperus rotundus is one of the most troublesome weeds growing in agricultural lands of Mauritius. Efforts are constantly being made to eradicate it by testing a number of herbicidal treatments in ratoon canes and in fallow land. In ratoon canes, the best results have been obtained with post-emergence spraying of Velpar K4( hexazinone + diuron) used either alone or in mixtures with Actril-DS (ioxynil-2,4-D) or 2,4-D amine salt. On C. rotundus subsp. tuberosus, only one application was needed to g et very satisfactory control whereas on rutundus, two applications were necessary. In fallow land excewptional control was obtained with glyphosate. Very satisfactory result was also obtained from the application of hexazinone.
