Imperata cylindrica (L.) Rauesch. is one of the most common and difficult weeds to control in many crops grown in West Africa. Studies were conducted from 1997 to 1999 in the forest/savannah transition zone to identify growth characteristics that enhance the competitive ability of Mucuna accessio...

Speargrass [Imperata cylindrica (L.) Raeuschel] is a noxious weed widespread in most tropical zones of the world. Studies were conducted in the savannah of West Africa from 1997 to 1999 to evaluate crop yield, speargrass control, and net benefit from the use of cover crops integrated with handwee...

Weed seed rain was monitored in field plots under three fallow types and four land-use intensities in Ibadan, Nigeria, in 1994 and 1995. The fallow types were natural bush, planted Leucaena leucocephala, and Pueraria phaseoloides. The land-use intensities consisted of continuous cropping, involvi...
