The herbicides dalapon, glyphosate, paraquat, MSMA, and diuron were evaluated for their postemergence selectivity in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz). Four methods of application were also tested: with a shield, directed without a shield, and hitting the lower 25 or 50 percent of the plant. In ...

Herbicidas postemergentes en yuca (Manihot esculenta Crantz) selectividad, metodos de aplicacion e interaccion con edad
Two studies were conducted to determine the best integrated weed control system for cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz), in addition to the selectivity of preplant incorporated (PPI) herbicides and their interactions with the planting system. Three preemergence treatments followed by hand weeding ...

Analysis of Determinants of Productivity and Technical Efficiency among Smallholder Common Bean Farmers in Eastern Uganda
Cassava has long been expected to play a key role in rural economic growth in Africa, but are we there yet? Although research partnerships have produced elite cassava varieties with 50% more yielding potential and demonstrated technologies to boost processing and marketing of cassava, the sub-sec...
