A literature study was undertaken on the weeding of maize on smallholder farms in Ciskei, South Africa. Most weeding under these conditions is carried out by hand pulling or hand hoeing. Only limited use is made of animal traction, and large-scale development of this method will not be possible until the conventional broadcast method of planting maize has been replaced by row planting.

In the tropics, cowpea is often intercropped with maize. Little is known about the effect of the intercropped maize on N2-fixation by cowpea or how intercropping affects nitrogen fertilizer use efficiency or soil N-uptake of both crops. Cowpea and maize were grown as a monocrop at row spacings of 40, 50, 60, 80, and 120 cm and intercropped at row spacing of 40, 50, and 60 cm. Plots were fertili...

Cassava is grown on the floodplains of Solimões river and guarantees food security income for farmers. However, negative interference weeds can result in a significant yield loss crop. Therefore, aim this study was to evaluate selectivity herbicides efficiency chemical weed control cassava ‘Aipim-manteiga’ cultivar, floodplain river, Iranduba, Amazonas. The experimental design randomized blocks...

ABSTRACT-The critical period of weed control is a part of crop life cycle during which weeds must be kept weed-free to avoid yield losses due to competition. In order to evaluate the effect of deficit irrigation on critical period of redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus L.) in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.), an experiment was carried out  as split plot ba...

in order to evaluate the effects of intercropping of maize- peanut, weeding and their planting design on weed population dynamics, an experiment was conducted as a factorial experiment in the form of rcbd with three replications at the research farm of agriculture center of zabol university (iran) in 2012. the treatments including sowing system in four levels as first factor  (sole maize, sole ...

National rice production continues to be increased meet the needs of food security in Indonesia. But reality, every cultivation always raises problem weed disturbances. One way control weeds can through waterlogging. Waterlogging suppress growth and increase yields. This study was conducted from August 2019-January 2020 at greenhouse conditions, Faulty Agriculture, Universitas PGRI Yogyakarta. ...

Stale seedbeds are used by organic growers to reduce weed populations prior to crop planting. Ryemulches, derived from mechanically killed (rolled and crimped) winter rye cover crops, can serve the same purpose for spring-planted organic crops. Both methods can also be employed by conventional growers who face looming problems with herbicide resistant weeds. The objective of this research was t...
