    O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o potencial da palha da cana-de-açúcar e a associação entre ela e a mistura comercial de trifloxysulfuron sodium + ametryn no controle de Rottboellia exaltata L. O experimento foi desenvolvido na Unidade de Apoio à Pesquisa da UENF, no período de setembro a novembro de 2004. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi o de blocos casualizados com os tratamentos dispostos em esquema fatorial: cinco camadas de palha (0; 4; 8; 12 e 16 t ha-1) e cinco doses de trifloxysulfuron sodium + ametryn (0,0; 1,0; 1,5; 2,0 e 2,5 kg ha-1), em quatro repetições. Aplicaram-se os herbicidas em pós-emergência, quando as plântulas de R. exaltata estavam com altura entre 5 e 10 cm. Avaliou-se o número de plântulas aos 15, 30, 45 e 60 dias após a aplicação dos herbicidas. Determinou-se o ponto que corresponde à concentração do herbicida que inibe 50% da planta daninha (I50). Aos 60 dias, a parte aérea das plantas de R. exaltata foi coletada e transferida para estufa para avaliação da biomassa seca. A interação quantidade de palha e doses de trifloxysulfuron sodium + ametryn foi significativa. Observou-se que camadas de palha com 16 t ha-1 (sem aplicação de herbicida) e 2,5 kg ha-1 de trifloxysulfuron sodium + ametryn (isolado) foram eficientes no controle de R. exaltata. Níveis de palha entre 8 e 12 t ha-1 interceptaram o herbicida, o que elevou o valor de I50, ou seja, a concentração do herbicida para inibir 50% do crescimento da planta foi maior do que quando se utilizou 4 t de palha.<br>The objective of this work was to evaluate the sugarcane straw potential and the association between the straw and the commercial mix of the trifloxysulfuron sodium + ametryn to control itchgrass (Rottboellia exaltata L.). The experiment was developed in the Universidade Estadual do Norte Fluminense Darcy Ribeiro (UENF), Campos dos Goytacazes Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil, from September to November 2004. It was carried out in randomized blocks, with the treatments arranged in a factorial scheme: five layers of straw (0; 4; 8; 12 e 16 t ha-1) and five doses of trifloxysulfuron sodium + ametryn (0,0; 1,0; 1,5; 2,0 e 2,5 kg ha-1), with four replications. The herbicide was applied in post-emergence, when weeds (R. exaltata) height was between 5 and 10 cm. Number of weeds was evaluated at 15, 30, 45 and 60 days after herbicide application. The herbicide concentration that inhibits 50% of the weed emergency (I50) was determined. In the sixty day, the itchgrass plants were collected and dry biomass was determined. The interaction between straw quantity and doses of trifloxysulfuron sodium + ametryn was significant. Straw layer of 16 tha-1 without herbicide addition was efficient to control R. exaltata and the herbicide trifloxysulfuron sodium + ametryn at 2,5 kg ha-1 used alone was efficient to control this weed. Straw levels between 8 and 12 t ha-1 intercepted the herbicide and consequently, increased the I50 value. In other words, the concentration of the herbicide to inhibit 50% of the weeds growth was greater when there were 8 and 12 t ha-1 than when there was 4 t ha-1 of straw
