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...

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...

Cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp] is a major food legume the semi-arid region of Sub-Saharan Africa. Recently, two parasitic weeds, Striga [Striga gesnerioides (Willd.) Vatke] and alectra [Alectra vogelii Benth.] have become a major threat to cowpea cultivation in this region. A landrace of co...

Two parasitic weeds, Striga gesnerioides (Willd.) Vatke and Alectra vogelii Benth., cause heavy yield losses in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) throughout the semiarid regions of sub-Saharan Africa. Several sources of resistance have been identified, including B 301, a landrace from Botswan...

Legume-cereal rotation can reduce density of witch weed (Striga hermonthica) seeds in soil. However, legume species and cultivars vary greatly in ability to stimulate germination of S. hermonthica seeds of same or different populations, hence the need for simple method for routine characterisatio...

The parasitic weed, Striga gesnerioides (Willd.) Vatke, is a major constraint in cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] production semi-arid regions of sub-Sahara Africa. Several sources of resistance have been identified. Of these, B301 has shown complete resistance to Striga across several count...

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...

The parasitic weeds Striga gesnerioides (Willd.) Vatke and Alectra vogelli (Benth.) cause considerable demage to cowpea [ Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp] in the semiarid regions of Africa. Systematic screening has revealed few cowpea varieties to be resistant. Of these, B 301 is resistant to both st...
