Striga hermonthica is a serious threat to cereal production in the savannas of sub-Saharan Africa. Field trials were conducted in Nigeria at Abuja and Mokwa (southern Guinea savanna) in 2005 and 2006, and at Zaria (northern Guinea savanna) and Sabongari (Sudan savanna) in 2006, to evaluate the pe...

Seed coating herbicide tolerant maize hybrids with imazapyr for Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth control in the West African savanna
The Guinea savannas of Nigeria have a high potential for the production of maize because of favourable environmental conditions. Despite this high potential, the yields obtained in farmers' fields are still very low. This is due to soil degradation and nutrient depletion arising from intensificat...

The Guinea savannas of Nigeria have a high potential for the production of maize because of favorable environmental conditions. Despite this high potential, the yields obtained under farmers' conditions are still very low. Low soil fertility and intermittent drought are among major constraints li...
