Speargrass is a serious weed in many farming systems of West Africa. Participatory research and extension approaches were used to promote farmer testing of alternative speargrass management options in yam, cassava and soybean in Nigeria. Treatments were paired plots with a farmers' control and at...

Cogongrass and guineagrass are serious perennial weeds in small-scale farms in lowland subhumid zones of West Africa. Field studies were conducted in 2002 and 2003 at two sites in Ibadan, Nigeria [Ijaye and the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA)], to evaluate the effect of rim...

Field studies were conducted in 2002 and 2003 at Ibadan, Nigeria, to evaluate the effects on weed control in maize of a new formulation of a mixture of atrazine and metolachlor. The treatments were the new formulation of the mixture at doses from 1.0 to 4.0 kg a.i. ha–1 and the old formulation of...

Speargrassseverely constraints crop production in the sub-humid lowlands of West Africa. Researchers have identified and demonstrated effectivemanagement techniques but the adoption rate among farmers is still low. Data were collected from 41 communities in Cross River, Kogi and BenueStates in Ni...
