Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth. is an obligate, root-parasitic, flowering plant that limits cereal production in sub-Saharan Africa.Successful control depends on eliminating its seed reserves in soil, thereby preventing parasitism. Striga hermonthica seeds germinate only if adequately conditione...

Potential of ethyleneproducing pseudomonads in combination with effective N2fixing bradyrhizobial strains as supplements to legume rotation for the control of Striga hermonthica
The parasitic angiosperms, Striga hermonthica and S. gesnerioides, obligate root parasites endemic in sub-Saharan Africa, constitute severe constraints to cereal and legume production in West and Central Africa. Over the years, a range of effective component technologies has been identified for S...

Farmer perception of the Striga problem and its control in northern Nigeria
Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth. is an obligate root-parasitic flowering plant that severely threatens cereal production in sub-Saharan Africa. A potential biological control option for reduction of crop yield–loss within the season of application is the use of soil-borne antagonists of S. hermon...
