Striga hermonthica (L) Moench, a parasitic weed species, is a major constraint to sorghum production in the savanna zones of north-eastern Nigeria. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of farmer practices on Striga infestation of sorghum fields in the region. Random sampling techniqu...

Field trials were conducted in 2005 and 2006 in Tilla (northern Guinea savanna) and Sabon-Gari (Sudan savanna) in northeast Nigeria to determine the performance of two improved cowpea varieties when relay-intercropped with early and late maize, 6 and 8 weeks after planting the maize. Grain yield,...

In the dry savanna of West and Central Africa, where unpredictable rainfall and recurrent drought are major constraints to maize production, the development of tropical maize genotypes with high and sable yields under drought is very important since access to drought-tolerant genotypes may be the...

The parasitic weed Striga gesnerioides (Willd) Vatke is one of the most important constraints to cowpea production in the dry savanna. Yield losses due to S. gesnerioides range from 83 to 100%. No single method however seems to be fully adequate in the control of this parasite. One practice, host...
