Abstract
Traditional labour-intensive methods of weed control which are normally associated with shifting cultivation are evaluated and compared with the use of herbicides and improved cultural practices. Problems occurring in shifting cultivation, such as weed seed dormancy, erosion and changing weed population; and methods of reducing the weed problem are discussed.Keywords
