- Intervention effect Spraying acetic and formic acid at 5%, 10% and 20% achieved complete control of three-week-old weeds without regrowth.
- Intervention effect Lactic acid at 10% and 20% also gave complete control of three-week-old weeds.
- Intervention effect In six-week-old weeds, formic and acetic acid at 10% and 20% completely controlled dicot weeds.
- Intervention effect In six-week-old weeds, lactic acid at 20% completely controlled dicot weeds.
- Intervention effect Lactic acid failed to provide complete control of monocot weeds even at 20%.
- Intervention effect Soil microbial population increased significantly after spraying organic acids.
- Intervention effect Cowpea raised immediately after organic acid spray showed no effect on germination and initial growth.
