Developing An Eco-Friendly And Bio-Managment Stratergy Against Parthenium Hysterophorus (L.) In Arusha, Tanzania

ABSTRACT

This study aimed at studying the suppressive effects of Sorghum bicolor, Tagetes erictus Amaranthus spinous and Sorghum arundinaceum and Cassia tora on germination and development of Parthenium hysteroporus L. under controlled experiments from March 2018 to November 2018 in Arusha Tanzania.
