Glyphosate, Methyl Metsulfuron, Oil Palm, Weeds
This study was carried out on the site of oil palm agro-industrial exploitation in South-East Gabon. The aim was to evaluate effectiveness of three herbicides: Roundup (glyphosate), Finish (c) and Ally (metsulfuron methyl) on the weed flora. An inventory weed flora was conducted to estimate abundance-dominance, post-treatment patch coverage, weed recurrence time, and the optimal herbicide application rate. The results obtained show that the weed flora is composed of 22 dominant species, divided into 20 genera and 15 families. The three predominance families are Rubiaceae, Poaceae and Cyperaceae. A mixture of two herbicides, specifically Finish Ally (glyphosate-metsulfuron methyl and metsulfuron methyl), is the most effective, with 85% of weeds eliminated by day 30 and 74 days of recurrence.
