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 ...

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...

Cogongrass continues to be one of the most invasive weeds in the subhumid savanna. Herbicide application expenses depend on equipment costs, costs of water transport for spraying, and chemical costs. In three on-farm experiments on land heavily infested with cogongrass, the effectiveness of a kna...

Field trials were conducted in 1999 and 2000 in the northern Guinea savanna of Nigeria to evaluate the potential of several weed management practices to reduce early weed competition in maize. The treatments were different combinations of the herbicide mixture metolachlor + atrazine at 5 L ha−1, ...

The parasitic angiosperms, Striga hermonthica and S. gesnerioides, obligate root parasites endemic in sub-Saharan Africa, constitute severe constraints to cereal and legume production in West and Central Africa. Over the years, a range of effective component technologies has been identified for S...

Weeds are a serious constraint to maize production in the tropics. A field experiment was conducted in Cameroon, at the University of Buea Research farm in 2009 and 2010 to evaluate the efficacy of formulations of nicosulfuron (Nicomaïs 40SC), glyphosate (Roundup 360) and paraquat (Gramoxone 200g...

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...
