The herbicides dalapon, glyphosate, paraquat, MSMA, and diuron were evaluated for their postemergence selectivity in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz). Four methods of application were also tested: with a shield, directed without a shield, and hitting the lower 25 or 50 percent of the plant. In ...

Twenty-six herbicides were evaluated at 3 rates each in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz). For the 21 preemergence herbicides, planting was done before application in half the plot and then in the other half. After incorporating the 5 preplant-incorporated products, half the plot was ridged befo...

Two studies were conducted to determine the best integrated weed control system for cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz), in addition to the selectivity of preplant incorporated (PPI) herbicides and their interactions with the planting system. Three preemergence treatments followed by hand weeding ...

A survey of weeds and weeding practices was carried out by a team of agricultural economists and agronomists on 283 farms in 5 cassava-growing regions of Colombia at 3 times during a cropping season. From 71-78 percent of the weed species present were broad- leaved species. As cassava grew older,...

Trials have been conducted at two sites in the subhumid zone of Nigeria to investigate the influence of weed control on seed quantity and quality using three tropical forage legumes, Centrosema pascuorum cv Cavalcade, Chamaecrista rotundifolia cv Wynn and Stylosanthes hamata cv Verano. Manaual we...

Presents information on work carried out by ILCA in Ethiopia to develop an animal-drawn implement for reduced tillage, row planting and inter-row weeding. Comments briefly on the advantages and initial field test results on the implement.
Recent information on the biological balance between purple nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus) and cassava is analyzed; the possibilities of influencing this balance to favor cassava are also studied. The slow initial growth of cassava highly favors the development and propagation of C. rotundus, result...

In view of the lack of information on the use of herbicides in polycultures including non-commercial crop species, 2 expt. were designed to identify herbicides and doses suitable for crop associations including cassava. A total of 6 products were tested single or in mixtures having been chosen fo...

"Shifting cultivation" - the alternation of periods of cropping with relatively long periods of fallow-encompasses many indigenous agricultural systems, developed in a remarkable diversity
of environments throughout the tropics. When the fallow includes woody perennials, shifting cultivation is a...
