The nature of interrelationships between soil pasteurisation, and increased soil N content, on the severity of Striga hermonthica infection in maize was studied in pot experiments in the screen-house. An initial experiment revealed that there was no significant difference in amount of S. hermonth...

Three Pseudomonas syringae pathovar glycinea (Psg) strains known to produce large amounts of ethylene were tested for efficacy in germinating seeds of Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth. in a laboratory, as were 312 rhizosphere isolates of non-pathogenic fluorescent Pseudomonas spp. and 38 Bradyrhiz...
Trois souches de Pseudomonas syringae pathovar glycinea (Psg), connues pour leur capacité de produire l'ethylene en grande quantité, ont été etudiées en laboratiore afin d'evaluer leur efficacite de germer les grains de Striga hermonthica (Del.). Trois cent douze isolats rhizosphaeriques non-path...

Striga hermonthica remains one of the greatest biological threats to cereal production in the savannahs of sub-Saharan Africa. Control efforts at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), Nigeria, focus on developing integrated S. hermonthica management (ISM) options such as leg...

Field screening of maize (Zea mays L.) and sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] can be an efficient means of selecting for resistance to the parasitic plant Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth. Spatial variability in natural S. hermonthica seed infestations necessitates supplemental infestation for ...
Ensuring that farming in the moist savannas of Africa is maintained, despite increasing population pressure and agricultural demands, necessitates the sustainable integration of crop and livestock enterprises; a role that forage legumes can fulfill. The potential of eleven herbaceous and two shru...
