Alley cropping with Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit, caused a shift in weed flora away from fast-growing annual weeds that are characteristic of frequently cultivated fields to shade-tolerant, less-competitive weeds. Alley cropping caused a greater decline in weed density over lime than was o...

Rice production by smallholder farmers in the savannas of Nigeria is constrained by weed competition. A field study was conducted to assess the effect of weed competition on the performance of upland rice varieties in 2005 and 2006 in the northern Guinea and Sudan savannas of Nigeria. The experim...

The Center for Cover Crops Information and Seed Exchange in Africa (CIEPCA) was established to support cover crops systems development for researchers, extension workers, and farmers in West Africa. CIEPCA has been in existence for approximately 3years. In that period, much has been accomplished....

The parasitic weed Striga gesnerioides (Willd) Vatke is one of the most important constraints to cowpea production in the dry savanna. Yield losses due to S. gesnerioides range from 83 to 100%. No single method however seems to be fully adequate in the control of this parasite. One practice, host...
