The objective of this study was to evaluate maize production and the economic profitability of weed management techniques. Field trials were conducted at the Kasapa farm during the 2021/22 growing seasons using a split-plot design with three repetitions. The main factor was the herbicides applied in pre-emergence alone (2L ha: acetochlor, bentazon, imazethapyr and 60 g ha chlorimuron-ethyl), then mixed (1L ha: acetochlor plus bentazon plus imazethapyr plus 30g hachlorimuron-ethyl), manual hoeing (3-5WAS) including the non-weeding.

- Soil nutrient depletion and poor farming practices are limiting crop productivity in eastern D.R. Congo, prompting an experiment to evaluate the effects of plant density and fertilizer on biofortified common bean varieties.
- Results indicated significant yield differences based on plant density, variety, and fertilizer use, with HM21-7 yielding the most grain and NPK fertilizer boosting yields by 38.2%.
- The study concluded that higher plant density, NPK application, and the use of high-yield varieties can enhance common bean production in the region’s Nitisols.
