- Intervention effect 2,4-D herbicide killed injected banana plants within 30-60 days, faster than glyphosate.
- Intervention effect Glyphosate-injected banana plants wilted and dried up within 90-120 days, slower than 2,4-D.
- Observation Both herbicides killed at least 85 percent of the banana plants.
- Association Plant destruction depended on herbicide dose, mat size and nature of suckering.
- Association Glyphosate re-suckering was 1.5 percent on farmers’ fields, lower than 15.2 percent on the station.
- Association 2,4-D re-suckering was 7.2 percent on farmers’ fields, lower than 11.3 percent on the station.
- Observation Herbicides destroyed plants within a radius of 16.8 ± 1.76 cm from the injected plant.
- Association Higher herbicide doses killed plants faster and better.
- Association Very high herbicide doses were associated with high re-suckering, for reasons not clear to the authors.
- Intervention effect 2,4-D herbicide destroyed banana mats faster than glyphosate.
- Association Re-suckering rates did not differ significantly between the two herbicides.
- Recommendation Glyphosate is recommended for farmer use in Uganda, considering environmental safety.
