Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Rice planted after cassava/Mucuna and cassava/Aeschynomene intercrops under two hand weeding and herbicide produced lower weed density and dry matter.
- Intervention effect Weed control efficiency was higher in rice planted after cassava/Mucuna intercrop.
- Intervention effect In 2011, weed reduction in rice after cassava/legume intercrops was 25-45 % compared with rice after fallow.
- Intervention effect In 2012, weed reduction in rice after cassava/legume intercrops was 30-50 % compared with rice after fallow.
- Intervention effect In 2013, weed reduction in rice after cassava/legume intercrops was 45-65 % compared with rice after fallow.
- Intervention effect In 2011, two hand weeding increased rice panicles per m2 and grain yield by 72.9% compared with zero weeding.
- Intervention effect In 2013, two hand weeding increased rice panicles per m2 and grain yield by 84.1% compared with zero weeding.
- Association Rice after natural fallow under zero weeding had higher weed density, which resulted in poor rice performance.
- Intervention effect Rice planted after cassava Mucuna consistently controlled weed growth.
- Intervention effect Higher rice plant height was recorded in rice grown after cassava/Mucuna and cassava/Aeschynomene.
- Intervention effect Higher numbers of rice tillers per stand were recorded in rice grown after cassava/Mucuna and cassava/Aeschynomene.
- Recommendation Cassava/cowpea and cassava/Aeschynomene cropping systems should be adopted by farmers for rice production.
