Effect of management practices for Stylosanthes hamata (L.) Taub. biomass cover on the weed species in different direct‐seeding, mulch‐based cropping systems

Abstract: Weed management is a major challenge for smallholders’ adoption of conservation agriculture techniques. The phytological composition and weed biomass in five direct‐seeding cropping systems based on the millet–groundnut rotation, with permanent cover provided by Stylosanthes hamata (L.) Taub., were evaluated after 3 years in western Senegal. A transect was used to determine the phytological composition. The weed biomass was measured in five quadrats in the middle and at the end of the plant growth cycle. This … Show more

“…In semi-arid Sahelian zones, researchers, development professionals and farmers in countries affected by desertification, as well as their international partners, are working on technical solutions to improve the agronomic, ecological and social performance of agricultural production systems. They innovate within existing systems or introduce new systems [1][2][3][4][5]. Since the shock of the droughts of the 1970s and 1980s and with population growth and climate change, these stakeholders have been working to meet the major social and environmental challenges facing this part of the world.…”
