Weed Management and Population Density in Upland Rice: Optimum Weeding Frequency and Seed Rate for High Yield in Upland Rice (Oraza Sativa L.) Walelign Worku

Poor weed management and indefinite and below optimum plant population used by farmers appear to be the major limiting factors resulting in low productivity of upland rice. With this regard, now a day there is a pressing need for developing a sound weed management and sowing strategy for upland rice. However, lack of information on improved agronomic packages has made the existing upland rice farming more risky and insecure. This book, therefore, provides a success story for farmers, investors, researchers and development workers on timely weeding and optimum seed rate for increased and sustainable production and productivity of upland rice.
