Striga hermonthica is an important cause of yield loss in sorghum in the semi‐arid zone of Africa. Two trials were conducted in northern Cameroon to evaluate the effect of herbicides for two cropping seasons on densities of emerged Striga in treatment years and on densities of Striga seed and pla...

Effect of herbicide and handweeding on current and subsequent season Striga hermonthica density on sorghum
A series of trials was conducted to quantify response of dry season transplanted sorghum to water and fertilizer application in order to test the hypothesis that soil moisture limits production more than nutrient supply. The trials were conducted at two field sites representative of a large land ...

Dry season transplanted sorghum is grown on Vertisols in the Lake Chad Basin at approximately 10,000 plants ha-1. Increasing plant density was hypothesised to be one way of increasing yields in this cropping system. To test this hypothesis, a trial was conducted in four environments near Maroua i...
La densité de plantation pour des sorghos repiqués en saison sèche sur les Vertisols dans le basin du lac Tchad environne 10000 plantes ha-1. L'augmentation de la densité semble être un moyen d'augmenter son rendement dans ce systeme agricole. Pour tester cette hypothèse, un essai comportant cinq...
