Summary: | The objective of the present study was to determine the periods of interference of velvet bean on ratoons of sugarcane cultivar 'RB855536' and to identify its potential for decreasing the crop yield and the quality of the harvested product. The experiment was arranged in a randomized block design, with 18 treatments divided into two groups and four replicates per treatment. In the first group, the sugarcane was kept free from velvet bean interference for nine different periods, beginning at bud sprouting: 0-15, 0-30, 0-45, 0-60, 0-90, 0-120, 0-150, and 0-180 days after budding (DAB) and 0-harvest. In the second group, sugarcane was grown in coexistence with velvet bean during the same periods described for the first group. The critical period of interference prevention for velvet bean in ratoons of sugarcane cv. 'RB 855536' lasted 138 days, from 50 DAB (pre- interference period [PIP]) to 188 DAB (total period of weed interference prevention [TPIP]). Velvet bean interference caused a 50% decrease in sugarcane yield and negatively affected the quality of the harvested product. Key words: Saccharum spp., Mucuna aterrima, weed, competition. Objetivou-se determinar os periodos de interferencia da mucuna-preta na soqueira cana-de-acucar, cultivar 'RB855536', e o potencial de reducao na produtividade da cultura e na qualidade do produto colhido. Foi utilizado o delineamento experimental em blocos casualizados, com quatro repeticoes por tratamento, aplicando-se 18 tratamentos divididos em dois grupos. No primeiro, a cultura permaneceu livre da interferencia da mucuna-preta desde a brotacao ate nove epocas do seu ciclo de vida: 0-15, 0-30, 0-45, 0-60, 0-90, 0-120, 0-150, 0-180 dias apos a brotacao (DAB), 0-colheita. No segundo grupo, a cultura permaneceu em convivencia com a mucuna-preta desde a brotacao ate os mesmos periodos descritos anteriormente. O periodo critico de prevencao a interferencia da mucuna-preta na soqueira da cultura da cana-de-acucar 'RB 855536' abrangeu 138 dias do ciclo da cultura, de 50 DAB (PAI) a 188 DAB (PTPI). E a reducao da produtividade da cana-de-acucar em decorrencia da interferencia da mucuna- preta foi de 50%, afetando negativamente a qualidade do produto colhido.
