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...

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...

The parasitic witchweed, Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth, is the greatest biological constraint for cereal crop production by resource-poor farmers in sub-Saharan Africa. Maize, Zea mays L., is a widely grown cereal crop in this region (22 × 106 ha). Striga-resistant maize populations were produc...

Cowpea diseases induced by various pathogenic groups (fungi, bacteria, viruses, nematodes, and parasitic flowering plants) constitute one of the most important constraints to cowpea production in all agroecological zones where the crop is grown. This paper presents an overview of the major resear...
La concurrence des mauvaises herbes est un obstacle à la rentabilité de la production du manioc. La connaissance des espèces de mauvaises herbes qui affectent négativement la productivité du manioc est essentielle pour une gestion efficace. Une étude a été conduite entre mai et juin 2014 et 2015 ...

Farmer-managed tests of Striga hermonthica-resistant maize varieties were conducted in 1994 in a moderately intensified zone in the northern Guinea savanna of Nigeria. Field history, soil properties, current season fertility management, and crop management observations were recorded for 37 farmer...

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...
