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...

Effects of soil pasteurization and soil N status on severity of Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth. in maize
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...

Development of synthetic maize populations for resistance to Striga hermonthica
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...
