Abstract:

Field experiment was carried out at the Teaching and Researching Farm of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, Oyo State to establish the optimum time for safe and effective application of Nicosulfuron on cassava plot. There were six treatments namely: herbicide application at 3 WAP, 5 WAP, 7 WAP, 9 WAP, 11 WAP (weeks after planting), and hoe weeding as control in a Randomized complete block experiment with three replicates. The hoe weeding constituted the control treatment. Results of the experiment showed that hoe weeding produced the best response than other treatments. There was a significant difference (P = 0.05) in all parameters measured. The plants treated at advanced age were better than those treated earlier. Nicosulfuron is injurious to cassava at recommended rate in early cassava lives while the older cassava plants can tolerate it.
