Weed control and fitosociology in cassava under pre-emergent herbicides and root quality

Background: Cassava (Manihot esculenta) is native from Brazil, widely cultivated across the country, and is the third largest source of food in the Brazilian tropical regions. Mechanical weeding is commonly used for weed control in cassava, which can be associated with herbicides. Objective: To evaluate the weed control, phytosociology, yield, and sensory analysis of cassava treated with pre-emergent herbicides. Methods: Two field experiments were conducted, with a randomized block design and four replications. The treatments consisted of the herbicides [...]
