Isolates of Claviceps causing ergot on sorghum in India were analysed by AFLP analysis, and by analysis of DNA sequences of the EF-1α gene intron 4 and β-tubulin gene intron 3 region. Of 89 isolates assayed from six states in India, four were determined to be C. sorghi, and the rest C. africana. ...

Striga hermonthica is a serious biotic constraint to sorghum production in the dry savannas of subSaharan Africa but the use of improved cultivars and appropriate planting dates may help to control the weed. A two year trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of sowing dates on four sorghum cul...

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor [L.] Moench) is one of the most important cereal crops grown in the dry savannas and semi-arid regions of West Africa under rain-fed conditions. Although total sorghum production in Nigeria has increased over the years, the average grain yield on farmers' fields has remai...

Undersowing sorghum with stylo as a means of improving fodder quality for dry-season grazing of livestock in the subhumid zone of Nigeria was investigated. Planting either Stylosanthes guianeusis cv 'Cook' or S. hamata cv 'Verano' simultaneously with local or improved varieties of sorghum reduced...

BACKGROUND:Striga hermonthica(Del.) Benth. (witchweed) poses the greatest biological constraint to food production insub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Control options forStrigaare currently largely ineffective or unavailable to farmers, and othermanagement possibilities are urgently needed. Biological c...

Parasitism of crop plants by Striga species is a major constraint in the savanna zones of West Africa. Farmers ranked Striga as a leading constraint during a livelihood analysis of 30 communities in northeast Nigeria. A field survey was conducted to ascertain the extent of infestation by Striga s...

The virus associated with mosaic disease of sorghum growing around the sugarcane fields in Andhra Pradesh state, India was found to be serologically related to the Sugarcane streak mosaic virus (SStMV) and Sorghum mosaic Parbhani virus (SMPV). The reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (...
