Abstract (AB)Experimental techniques for the evaluation of herbicides when crop and weeds are growing in association have not been given the attention they deserve in sugar-cane literature. Workers have used different methods with consequent lack of uniformity in the presentation of data. As a result, it is often difficult to appreciate fully the value of such investigations. The object of the present paper is to emphasize this particular aspect of the problem in describing experimental techniques that have been used successfully in Mauritius during recent years. Their practicability and limitations are discussed. In experimental agriculture, more particularly in weed control research, no technique can claim to be fully satisfactory. The present contribution, therefore, should only bne considered as an attempt towards a better understanding of weed control experimentation in sugarcane.
