Effects Of Cassava Varieties And Weed Control Methods On Weed Population And Seedling Emergence At Umudike, Southeastern Nigeria
ABSTRACT
Weeds are plants growing spontaneously in naturally
disturbed human habitat, which interfere with the activities of man and his
environment (Akobundu, 1987),In other words, weeds are natural hazards to the
interests and activities of man; they interfere with human activities or in
some ways intrude upon human welfare. This is the concept of weed. that has
originated with human and within the context of their food production needs.
Weeds are most underestimated pest in tropical agriculture. They have influence
on human social action more than other crop pests (Akobundu, 1987). Many plants
commonly classified as weeds may be used for food or medicinal purposes:
Portulaca oleracea and Porliveria oiiacea are examples among many others
(Baker, 1974). Furthermore, many weed plants growing in fallow areas serve to
prevent soil erosion and to recycle nutrients to the soil (Kligman ci al.,
1982). Conversely, various crops plants, which grow as volunteer in other crop
areas, are rightly considered as weeds.
