200 for multiple pilot and demonstration in Nigeria and Tanzania, Lagon was rated best preemergence cassava controlling grasses and broadleaf weeds in herbicide one
.
.
In Nigeria and throughout Africa, weeds have been one of the main obstacles to increasing the yield of cassava.
Women spend about 500 hours a year removing weeds from one hectare of cassava fields with a hoe
.
Manual weeding methods damage the health of farmers with limited resources.
Sometimes, children are forced to leave school to help weeding
.
If not controlled, weeds will compete with cassava for water, nutrients and space, which can reduce yield by 40-90%

In response to the threat of weeds, the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) launched the “Cassava Weed Management Project” and selected more than 40 pre-emergence herbicides in the past eight years.

The above four states are the main agro-ecological areas for cassava cultivation in Nigeria

The cassava yield of the fields treated with Lagon is more than twice the national average, exceeding 20 tons per hectare
.
In addition, the cassava plants treated with Lagon were more robust than those in the fields where the product was not used

Dr.
Alfred Dixon, head of development and delivery of the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, said that the cassava weed management project team also conducted residual analysis on the leaves, stems and roots of cassava
.
"The result of the residue analysis was negative, which means that Lagon is safe for field crops, especially cassava," Dr.
Dixon added

Farmers who use Lagon highly appreciate the effectiveness of this pre-emergence herbicide

Ms.
Ngufan Chichi is a commercial seed producer of cassava

She said that the use of Lagon helped her team expand the scale of the cassava farm in Benue
.
"The reason why we can expand is because we can now better manage weeds in cassava"
.
She also added that farmers have saved a lot of weeding costs after using Lagon
