Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Six PRE herbicide treatments consistently provided 80% to 98% broadleaf and grass weed control up to 8 weeks after treatment.
- Association PRE herbicide treatments and cassava yield were significantly positively correlated.
- Intervention effect Nine listed herbicide treatments contributed to cassava yields exceeding twice the Nigerian national average of 8.76 tonnes per hectare.
- Intervention effect Those herbicide treatments gave root yields 1.4 to 2 times higher than plots hoe-weeded three times.
- Intervention effect Indaziflam and diflufenican + flufenacet + flurtamone treatments caused delayed cassava sprouting and temporary leaf bleaching.
- Intervention effect PRE applications alone at rates safe for cassava did not provide adequate season-long weed control.
- Recommendation Supplemental POST weed control is needed about 10 weeks after planting for satisfactory season-long control in cassava.
