Abstract
A trial of soil upkeep in coffee plantations, slashing weeds twice, fo ur or six times a year or by chemical treatment with Roundup, was cond ucted in a field of fertilized Robusta coffee trees at the Barombi-Kan g station (Cameroon). Roundup had a depressive effect on cumulated pro duction for the first three harvesting years, compared with that for p lots with four or six annual weed slashing rounds.
