-The objective of this work was to evaluate the selectivity of clomazone in two formulations and S-metolachlor applied on shoots of different sizes after pruning of 'Baianinha' cassava. The experiment was arranged in a randomized block design in a factorial 5 x 2 (5 treatments x 2 sizes of shoots after pruning -10 and 33 cm) with four replications. The herbicides evaluated were: clomazone (encapsulated suspension -900 g h -1 ), clomazone (encapsulated suspension -1,080 g ha -1 ), clomazone (emulsifiable concentrate 900 g ha -1 ), S-metolachlor (1,920 g ha -1 ) and an untreated control. During the experiment, all plots were kept free of weed interference by hand weeding. It was concluded that both the formulations of clomazone and S-metolachlor were selective when applied on both the shoot sizes evaluated. However, the application of S-metolachlor on 33 cm shoots gave higher selectivity to 'Baianinha' cassava plants.

RESUMO -Objetivou-se neste estudo avaliar a seletividade do clomazone em duas formulações e do S-metolachlor aplicados em diferentes tamanhos de brotos depois da poda da mandioca Baianinha. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi o de blocos ao acaso, em esquema fatorial 5 x 2 (5 tratamentos x 2 tamanhos de brotos após a poda -10 e 33 cm), com quatro repetições. Os herbicidas
