Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth. is a widespread parasitic weed that infl icts damage on maize (Zea mays L.) in sub-Saharan Africa. This is a highly variable root parasite that can contribute to signifi cant genotype × parasite population interaction observed in field trials. The present study wa...
