Studies of weeding frequency in cassava in cameroon

The critical period of weed interference was investigated from 1982–1985 In two local cassava cultivars in Cameroon. Unweeded plots had more than 90% losses and were infested by birds and rodents which caused much damage to the fresh storage roots. One weeding round was not an effective treatment. T...

description The critical period of weed interference was investigated from 1982–1985 In two local cassava cultivars in Cameroon. Unweeded plots had more than 90% losses and were infested by birds and rodents which caused much damage to the fresh storage roots. One weeding round was not an effective treatment. Two weeding rounds at 4 and 12 weeks after planting (WAP) gave yields twice that with two weedings at 12 and 20 WAP. Three weedings at 4, 12 and 20 WAP gave the best yields: 11 t/ha and 17 t/ha for the red and white‐skinned cultivars, respectively. The highest storage root number was also recorded for the same treatment
