Growth analysis and competition studies involving red rice and rice "Oryzica 1" were conducted at CIAT, Colombia, during 1989 and 1990. In competition red rice (2 biotypes) grew taller than Oryzica 1, but had similar leaf area. During the first 60 days after emergence (d.a.e.) Oryzica 1 tillered ...

Red rice (oryza sativa): competition studies for management decisions
The critical period of rice-weed competition was studied for the rice varieties Oryzica 1 and CICA 8, in 1989 and 1990. Weed species were: Eleusine indica, Echinochloa crus-galli, Echinochloa colonum, Cyperus difformis, Cyperus esculentus, Cyperus iria, Leptochloa filiformis, and Eclipta alba. Co...

his study was undertaken to provide new knowledge on biodiversity of aphids and their complex of natural enemies in vegetable agroecosystems in Benin. During a 2-year survey (2007/2008 to 2008/2009), aphid species, their host plants and natural enemies were identified from samples collected from ...

Weed abundance in cereal-based systems has increased in recent years across sub-Saharan Africa for smallholder farmers (cultivating less than two hectares). Smallholders can employ numerous practices to control weeds such as intercropping cereal crops with legumes. We conducted a review to identi...

An outline is given of the progress made in a systematic breeding programme set up in Nigeria to develop improved cowpea cultivars with combined resistance to Striga gesnerioides and Alectra vogelii along with multiple disease and insect resistance. Several sources of resistance to both parasitic...
Brief mention of research into the infestation of cowpeas by Striga gesnerioides conducted by staff of the Botany Department of the University of Nigeria at Nsukka is followed by more extensive discussion of work on this host-parasite relationship conducted at the Institute of Agricultural Resear...

Seeds of Striga asiatica and S. hermonthica were separated from soil using a wet sieve method with a 2.5 smallcap˜M sucrose flotation solution and 250- and 150-µm mesh screens. In 34 fields, the av. and range of seeds/100 g of soil were 8.2 and 0-75, resp. Seeds were recovered from 28 of the 34 f...
