The objective of this work was to evaluate different types of weed management in passion fruit culture under chemical and organic fertilization. The experimental design was in randomized blocks with 15 treatments, arranged in a splip-splot design, with four repetitions containing 10 plants each. The treatments consisted of three types of fertilization (organic, chemical and chemical + organic) and five types of weed management in each subplot (hand-hoeing, without hand-hoeing, diuron (pre-planting) + glyphosate (postemergence), diuron (pre-planting) + MSMA (postemergence) and diuron (pre-planting) + (diuron + paraquat) (postemergence). Diuron applied in pre-planting induced phytotoxicity symptom in the leaves around 20 to 26 days after planting (DAP). However, it was more evident in plants undergoing chemical fertilization. The treatments with chemical + organic fertilization associated to hand-hoeing, diuron (pre-planting) + glyphosate (postemergence) and diuron (pre-planting) + (diuron + paraquat) (postemergence) provided the highest fruit productivity. For the cultivation using organic fertilization, hand-hoeing promoted the highest productivity. On the other hand, under, chemical fertilization, highest crop production and weed control were observed in the treatment diuron (pre) + glyphosate (post).
