Weed Management Studies in Cassava (Manihot esculenta L.) Intercropping Systems under Irrigated Conditions

A field experiment was conducted during 2003-04 and 2004-05 to asses the production potential of intercropping of cassava (Manihot esculenta L.) with groundnut (Arachis hypogea), vegetable cowpea (Vigna sinensis) and black gram (Vigna mungo) in relation to various weed control practices. Intercroppi...
