Weed control via intercropping with gliricidia: I. cotton crop

Abstract: -The majority of cotton grown commercially in the world has white lint, but recently, there has been a growing interest in colored lint cotton in several countries, including Brazil. The use of naturally-colored fiber reduces chemical pollution. The objective of this paper was to evaluate cotton cultivar fiber yield in response to weed control via intercropping with gliricídia. Cultivars BRS-Verde (greenish fibers), BRS-Rubi (reddish brown fibers), BRS-Safira (brown fibers), and BRS-187 8H (white fibers) were … Show more

“…At least 15 toxic substances were identified in the above-ground part of gliricidia that could have allelopathic action (Ramamoothy & Paliwal, 1993). Although in the present work intercropping with gliricidia did not significantly reduce weed growth, such a reduction occurred when cotton was intercropped with gliricidia (Silva et al, 2009a). …”

“…These results suggest that intercropping with gliricidia deserves to be studied in further detail with respect to its role in weed control. Incidentally, a similar observation was made by other author (Silva et al, 2009a;Silva et al, 2009b).…”

“…The use of G. sepium branches as soil mulch did not have an allelopathic effect on corn and bean, but significantly decreased the population of some weed species (Obando, 1987). There have been some recent indications that gliricidia intercropped with cotton (Silva et al, 2009a) or corn (Silva et al, 2009b) can control weeds.…”

“…The state of Mato Grosso is the greatest domestic producer, with an increment of 57.5% in planted area (IBGE, 2015). The crop has great potential and versatility in generating raw material for the manufacturing of a number of consumption products, besides producing the most important textile fiber at a worldwide level (Silva et al, 2009).…”
