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 ...

The composition and pattern of weed flora in arable fields are determined by their seedbank structure; but the influence of fallow management practices on weed seedbank structure is presently unknown. The objective of this study was to investigate weed seedbank characteristics and weed population...

Yam was intercropped with maize, okra, and sweet potato and subjected to various periods of weed interference and weed-free regimes. The field trials were conducted for two cropping seasons at the research farm of the National Root Crops Institute, Umudike, Nigeria, 5° 29' N latitude and 7° 32' E...

In this study a new formulation of EPTC, the new products glyphosate and napropamide and high rates of butilate, vernolate and EPTC were tested in purple nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus L.). The slow release formulation of EPTC was more persistant than the regular EPTC. High rates (16 kgia/ha) of the ...

Cutting sedge (Scleria pterota Presl.) is a common weed in pastures. It grows vigorously and forms patches in poorly drained soils and appears uniformly dispursed in pastures on rolling land. It is unpalatable to cattle and is extremely competitive with pasture species. It was found that both diu...
