In Ethiopia sesame production and productivity is low. Of the several constraints in sesame production, weed infestation is the major factor that limits the yield of sesame. Although, there are recommended herbicides for sesame but not in our growing condition. Therefore, objectives of this study were to evaluate efficacy of the pre emergence herbi...

... seed yield was recorded from the hand weeding and achor sprayed plots in both locations during 2017, while the weedy check and stomp sprayed plots scored lower seed yield. In 2018 production year, higher seed yield was harvested from five star sprayed plot and the lower from the weedy check (Table 2).Some researchers have shown that sesame yield was increased by the application of metolachlor and trifluralin ( Vafaei et al. 2013) and was not affected by Smetolachlor ( Grichar et al. 2001). Highest seed yield was recorded in pre-emergence application of herbicide with one hand weeding at 30 DAS and weedy check recorded lower seed ( Mane et al. 2017). ...Similar publications
The experiment was conducted to assess associations between root yield and yield-related traits of orange-fleshed sweetpotato genotypes to identify traits that have maximum effect on root yield of sweetpotato to make possible selection. Twenty-four Orange Fleshed Sweetpotato genotypes were evaluated in 2017 main cropping season at Hawassa Agricultu...
Inappropriate ploughing and weed control practices are among the major limiting factors for teff productivity in Ethiopia. Hence, this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of ploughing and weeding frequencies on growth and yield of teff varieties in Mirab Abaya district of southern Ethiopia during short cropping season of 2019. The treatments...
This study was conducted evaluate the performance of Lablab genotypes across various locations of Ethiopia. Twelve accessions of L. purpureus obtained from ILRI Genebank and a check registered variety from Bako Agricultural Research Center were sown under a 3 × 13 factorial experiment in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) during the rainy se...
Cassava production is popular in Africa due to its low water requirement, which is recently adapted in Afar region that characterized by low availability of moisture. Demonstration was not done to familiarize the crop with agro pastorals in the area. Therefore, the experiment was carried out at WARC, Bedulale and Kedigadora kebeles in 2014 cropping...
Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam) is economically important and a food security root crop in Ethiopia. In addition to this, orange fleshed sweet potato is the cheapest source of β-carotene which is a precursor of Vitamin A whose deficiency is a serious public health problem in Ethiopia. A field experiment was conducted at Jimma Agricultural R...
