Nicosulfuron is a new alternative herbicide for post-emergence control of perennial weeds in maize. Field studies were conducted to evaluate the response of four maize cultivars (Low-N-Pool, TZB-SR, Oba Super-1 and Oba Super-2) and speargrass to different rates of nicosulfuron (35, 70, and 105 g ...

Imperata cylindrica (speargrass) is one of the most invasive weeds in the moist savannah zone of sub-saharan Africa. This study was conducted in 2001 and 2002 at Ijaye and Ilorin, Nigeria, to investigate the influence of four nicosulfuron doses (35, 70, 105, and 210 g a.i./ha) on the performance ...
