"The 2010 RUFORUM Biennial Conference was the second in the series. The main objective of the Biennial conferences is to provide a platform for agricultural research for development stakeholders in Africa and beyond to actively exchange findings and experiences, while at the same time learning lessons towards improving performance of the agricultural sector and ultimately people’s livelihoods. The biennial conference is RUFORUM’s most comprehensive meeting for the diversity of stakeholers in agriculture. It is especially dedicated to graduate students and their supervisors, grantees in RUFORUM member universities and alumni. It is a platform for peer review, quality control, mentorship, networking and shared learning. This record contains an extended abstract accepted under the theme of agronomy"
Effect of temperature on maize sensitivity to acetochlor
Abstract:
This greenhouse study determined the effect of temperature
on the herbicide acetochlor. The herbicide was applied a day
after planting at the rates of 0.74, 1.47, 2.94 and 5.85 kg ha-1.
Plants were kept at three temperature: supra-optimal (35/28
0
C), optimal (28/18 0C) and sub-optimal (15/08 0C). Significant
interactions were observed for herbicide rate x temperature x
cultivars. Generally seedlings at the optimal and supra-optimal
temperatures grew faster and passed the seedling stage rapidly.
Cette étude effectuée dans la serre a déterminé l’effet de la
température sur l’acétochlore herbicide. L’herbicide a été
appliqué un jour après la plantation au taux de 0.74, 1.47, 2.94
et 5.85 kg ha-1. Les plantes ont été gardées à trois températures:
supra-optimale (35/28 oC), optimale (28/18 oC) et sous-optimale
(15/08 oC). Des interactions significatives ont été observées
pour les taux d’herbicide x température x cultivars. En général
les semis à la température optimale et supra-optimale ont
augmenté plus rapidement et ont dépassé le stade des semis
rapidement.
