Other claims from this paper (10)

Association Cowpea variable cultivation cost was substantially influenced by weed control cost.
Association More frequent weed control did not guarantee greater economic benefits.
Intervention effect Three hand weedings did not necessarily give the highest cowpea yield.
Intervention effect Three hand weedings increased variable weed-control cost.
Intervention effect PRE-herbicide combined with hand weeding gave the highest cowpea yield.
Intervention effect PRE-herbicide combined with hand weeding gave the highest gross profit.
Intervention effect PRE-herbicide alone gave the highest benefit-cost ratio.
Association Cowpea row spacing mostly did not affect economic differences among weed-management methods.
Association Economic benefits generally declined as cowpea row spacing increased.
Recommendation The authors recommend minimizing hand weeding with PRE-herbicide, especially at narrow cowpea row spacing, to optimize yield and profit.
