Weed is the major limiting factor of coffee production in Ethiopia. Weeds cause 65% coffee yield reduction in the country. Now a day, the expensiveness of weed management has been a principle issue in economic analysis of coffee production in Ethiopia. Herbicide weeding is a best management option in coffee production. Which can offer an advantage of taking less time, demanding less labor and avoid potential of diseases spread that causes during mechanical weed management practices. Thus, newly introduced herbicides verification trial was conducted in Jimma Agricultural Research Center, Agaro and Gera sub center on station in 2022 cropping season to evaluate the efficacy of newly introduced herbicides. The study consists two (2) newly introduced herbicides such as Wipe away (Glyphosate Potassium salt 665 G/SL) Afro (Glyphosate 48% SL) and Kalach 360 SL (Glyphosate 36% SL) as standard check and weedy control check. The herbicides effectively reduced weed density and provide good weed control efficiency compared with weedy control. Especially Afro well performed compared with standard check herbicide. Tested herbicides provided full control through season with single application equivalent with kalach 360SL standard check herbicides. Tested herbicides showed fully control of weed species between 21- 30 days after treatment application. Therefore, based on herbicides efficacy test result Wipe away (Glyphosate Potassium salt 665 G/SL) at 0.75 liter per hector within 200 liter water and Afro (Glyphosate 48% SL) at 3.5 liter per hector within 250 liter applied at active growth stages of major coffee weeds recommended for control weeds in coffee.
