The objectives of this study were to evaluate the efficiency and selectivity of herbicides on the weed plants control at the alfalfa crop. Two experiments were carried out at the Experimental Station of Agenciarural, located in Anápolis, GO. In the first experiment it was evaluated eight herbicides (imazethapyr, MSMA, fomesafen, bentazon, chlorimuron-ethyl and imazamox) post emergency and in the second experiment six different mixed of herbicides [(diuron + MSMA), (diuron + MSMA), (diuron + paraquat), (diuron + paraquat)] applied one day after the alfalfa harvesting date. For both experiments were included two checks (weedy check and no weedy check) and it was used a randomized block design, with four replications. The herbicides imazethapyr, MSMA, fomesafen, bentazon, chlorimuron-ethyl and imazamox were selective to the alfalfa crop and efficient for the weed plants control. The mixed of herbicides (diuron + MSMA) and (diuron + paraquat) applied after the harvesting date were responsible for damage on leaves and stem remaining. Although the new alfalfa budding did not show any signal of toxic and the development and growth was normal. These mix of herbicides showed an efficient weed plants control and did not affect the harvest dry matter and plant height comparing to the weedy check. The no weedy check reduced the plant dry matter and height in 74,5% and 42,8%, respectively.
