Trapoeraba (Commelina benghalensis L.) stands out as one of the main weeds in Brazilian agriculture due to its frequency and hard control. Understanding this species ecophysiology allows taking more accurate and sustainable management decisions. The aim of the present study is to assess C. benghalensis growth and developmentby taking into consideration the influence of the soil type used as substrate, of both cuttings’ planting depth and different light conditions. In order to do so, two separate experiments were conducted under a completely randomized design (bioassays I and II). Cuttings in bioassay I were transplanted into trays filled with four substrate types comprising different natural soil textures: S1 (sand), S2 (sandy soil), S3 (medium-textured soil) and S4 (clay soil). The effect of two light conditions (50% shade and full sun) and two planting depths (cuttings buried approximately 1 cm down in the soil and placed on soil surface) was assessed in bioassay II. The analyzed parameters included cutting length, number of leaves and shoots, fresh and dry matter, and leaf area. According to the results, C. benghalensis development was optimized by substrates with higher sand content under shading conditions. Growth did not differ between buried cuttings and those placed on soil surface. This information has highlighted the best environment types for trapoeraba infestation and they require adjustments in herbicide doses and mowing avoidance.
