Test of restoration of Guineo‐sudanian pastures invaded by chromolaena odorata and hyptis suaveolens in Benin
Chromolaena odorata and H y p tis suaveolens are two cover plants invading pastures in Benin.They are essentially non‐palatable, and were used as indicators for degraded grazinglands ( Sinsin et al., 1996abc).They constitute a major handicap to the pasture management in subequatorial zones ( Holou & Sinsin, 2001 ) especially in the breeding ranches of Bétécoucou located between guineo‐sudanian and sudano‐Guinean climatic zones in Benin.Improving grassland phytomass productivities and nutrient value is important for successful herbivore breeding.In an attempt to rehabilitate pastures invaded by these species, we tested the use of the selective herbicide, Garlon 2E from CAMN Ste Armel ( France), which contains trichlopyr (240 g/l) (1E ＝ Trichlopyr 120g/l in form of salt of triethylamineand) as the active ingredient.
