In April 1998, about 130 seedlings from each cross were transplanted at 0. 46 m intra and 1. 8 m inter-row spacing in a non-replicated nursery at USDA-ARS [United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service], Sugarcane Research Unit, Houma, LA. The nursery had been fallowed for several years to minimize volunteer sugarcane plants.

Sarclage à la houe Manga: station de Saria, Burkina Faso. La houe Manga permet de travailler superficiellement la terre après les premières pluies pour détruire à la fois la croûte de battance et les jeunes semis des adventices.

Le sarclage avec des bineuses est une technique connue depuis longtemps et qui est très efficace dans l'interligne. Les bineuses pouvant être employées dans pratiquement toutes les cultures en lignes à écartement suffisant, sont un matériel particulièrement précieux pour la lutte contre les mauvaise herbes. [...] On peut aussi placer sur chaque élément 1 cour (au milieu) et 2 lames simples (une de chaque côté) pour les cultures à grand écartement. 1, record 4, French, - culture%20%C3%A0%20grand%20%C3%A9cartement

Cultural weed control is the management of the crop to make it more competitive against weeds. Cultural control involves optimizing planting date, seeding rate, row spacing, fertility, irrigation, and the used of adapted varieties so that the crop will be vigorously growing and more competitive with weeds. Generally, the plant that emerges first, establishes rapidly, and closes canopy first, is the most competitive. This plant captures the majority of the environmental resources(i. e. light, water, nutrients) necessary for growth. The aim should be to make vegetable crops as competitive as possible by modifying the appropriate practices. 3, record 5, English, - row%20spacing

Plantation en lignes : Mode de plantation où les jeunes plants sont disposés sur des lignes parallèles (le plus souvent équidistantes) et à des intervalles aussi réguliers que possible. Dans le cas d'une plantation en layons, la plantation est pratiquée le long de couloirs ouverts dans le sous-bois, à intervalles plus ou moins réguliers (parfois à l'intervalle du peuplement final). C'est une forme de plantation d'enrichissement. 1, record 6, French, - plantation%20en%20layons
