Abstract

For situations and crops as diverse as sugarcane in Réunion (a French overseas department), grown in systems close to monoculture, and cotton in Cameroon, grown in rotation with food crops, the gruelling manual weed control operations using hoes (the daba in Cameroon and the mattock in Réunion), traditionally inherent to family farming, have been considerably alleviated by the emergence then widespread implementation of chemical weed control, manual in Cameroon and partially motorised in Réunion. Based on these two examples taken from his experience as a tropical agronomist in Northern Cameroon and in Réunion, the author concludes that in just a few decades, family farming and chemical weed control have forged very strong links, which are now difficult to undo.
除草剂和家庭农业,便利的联姻?
对于各种情况和作物,如在r union(法国海外部)以接近单一栽培的系统种植的甘蔗,以及在喀麦隆与粮食作物轮作种植的棉花,传统上家庭农业固有的使用锄头(喀麦隆的daba和r union的锄头)的手工杂草控制作业,由于化学杂草控制的出现和广泛实施,已经大大减轻了。在喀麦隆是手动驾驶,在卢旺达是部分机动驾驶。根据他在喀麦隆北部和卢旺达担任热带农学家的这两个例子,作者得出结论,在短短几十年里,家庭农业和化学杂草控制已经形成了非常紧密的联系,现在很难消除这种联系。
