Two field experiments were carried out at El-Mattana Agriculture Research Station, Luxor Governorate, Egypt during 2021/2022 and 2022/2023 seasons (two plant-cane). The experiments aimed to study the influence of some irrigation levels and integrated weed control treatments and their interactions on weeds performance and the growth, yield and its attributes of sugarcane. The irrigation level 100% resulted in a significant increase in stalk height, stalk diameter, number of internodes/stalk, number of millable canes and sugar yields in both seasons. The lowest number of grassy, broad-leaved and total weight of weeds were a result of applying an irrigation level of 60%, while the highest one was registered with applying an irrigation level of 100 % in both seasons. Weed control treatments decreased significant dry weight of grassy, broad-leaved and total weight of weeds at 75 days after planting (DAP) in both seasons compared to un-weeded treatment. Applying hoeing thrice, hoeing once + Lumax at a rate of 1.7 l/ fed and hand hoeing once + Dinamic decreased significant dry weight of grassy, broad-leaved and total weight of weeds in both seasons, compared with un-weeded treatment. Weed control treatments increased significantly stalk height, stalk diameter, number of internodes/stalk, number of millable canes and sugar yields. Results showed that interaction between irrigation levels and weed treatments decreased significantly effect on dry weight of grassy, broad-leaved and total weight of weeds at 75 DAP and gave highest values attributes of sugarcane in both seasons.
