The College of Agriculture at the University of Kerbala organized on 27/11/2024 a scientific discussion seminar on (The response of hybrids of yellow corn (Zea mays L.) to combat weeds and studying the resistance of some accompanying weeds to the action of weed killers) for the postgraduate student: Muhammad Kased Turki Al-Kritiand under the supervision of Professor Dr. Hamid Abdul Khashan Al-Fartousi

in the presence of the Head of the Department of Field Crops, along with a good group of faculty members in some scientific departments and in the presence of postgraduate students. The scientific seminar included a set of axes, including the introduction of the importance of the yellow corn crop, as this crop has received the attention of plant breeders for the purpose of improving it because it is a cross-pollinated crop, the fruits of which were the production of hybrid yellow corn, which became an agricultural revolution and the greatest event in the field of plant breeding, which led to the creation of new high-yielding hybrids in various parts of the world that depend mainly on genetic divergence between parents. Also, the presence of weeds in corn fields is one of the most important problems facing farmers, which causes a reduction in production and quality and an increase in the economic cost resulting from control operations. Previous studies have shown that the spread of weeds in corn fields is one of the most important problems affecting production, as it competes with the crop for water, food and light. Weed plants vary greatly depending on environmental and soil conditions, and in general
