Field experiments were conducted from 1991 to 1993 in Mexico to determine the critical period of weed control in chilli pepper (Capsicum annuum). The weed community was composed of 6 and 4 species in 1992 and 1993, respectively. In 1992, the major weed species were Simsia amplexicaulis (72%) and Amaranthus palmeri (16%) whereas in 1993, the major weed species were A. palmeri (53%), Galinsoga parviflora (30%) and Bidens odorata (15%).
