Maize is becoming the major food crop around Lake Victoria. Major constraints to its production are Striga, stem borer, and declining soil fertility. Innovative integrated technologies have been developed: the push pull system (intercropping with Desmodium and surrounded by Napier grass), soybe...


Groot, Hugo deRutto, EOdhiambo, GKanampui, FKhan, Z.R.Coe, R.Vanlauwe, Bernard[Participatory evaluation of integrated pest and soil fertility management options using ordered categorical data analysis]Participatory evaluation of integrated pest and soil fertility management options using ordered categorical data analysis

Strigolactones released from plant rootstrigger both seed germination of parasitic weeds such as Striga spp. and hyphal branching of the symbionts arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. Generally, strigolactone composition in exudates is quantitatively and qualitatively different among plants, which ...


Yoneyama, K.Arakawa, R.Ishimoto, K.Kim, H.I.Kisugi, T.Xie, X.Nomura, T.Kanampiu, F.Yokota, T.Ezawa, T.Yoneyama, K.[Difference in Strigasusceptibility is reflected in strigolactone secretion profile, but not in compatibility and host preference in arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis in two maize cultivars]Difference in Strigasusceptibility is reflected in strigolactone secretion profile, but not in compatibility and host preference in arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis in two maize cultivars

Drought is a major constraint to maize production in West and Central Africa (WCA). Assessment of genetic gain from S1 recurrent selection under drought is crucial for the development of drought tolerance breeding strategies. In an early white population, 60 S1 families each derived from the base...


Badu-Apraku, B.Oyekunle, M.Talabi, A.O.Annor, B.Akaogu, I.C.[Changes in genetic variances and heritabilities in an early white maize population following S1 selection for grain yield, Striga resistance and drought tolerance]Changes in genetic variances and heritabilities in an early white maize population following S1 selection for grain yield, Striga resistance and drought tolerance

Breeding maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids resistant to Striga and tolerant to low soil nitrogen (low-N) will reduce grain yield losses due to stresses in West Africa (WA). Studies were conducted to determine if selection for Striga resistance and/or drought tolerance in early-maturing maize population...

Farmers in western Kenya are still facing the problem of Striga, the major constraint to cereal production threatening food security of thousands of poor farming households. Some Striga species also attack tropical legumes hence further augmenting protein malnutrition of vulnerable younger childr...


Mignouna, Djana B.Manyong, Victor M.Mutabazi, K.D.Senkondo, E.Madulu, R.B.Labintan, C.A.Akinola, Adebayo A.[Economic analysis of Imazapyrresistant maize technology for small farm households in western Kenya]Economic analysis of Imazapyrresistant maize technology for small farm households in western Kenya

Information on the combining ability, heterotic patterns and genetic diversity of maize (Zea mays L.) inbreds is crucial for the success of a hybrid program targeting the stress environments of West Africa (WA). Studies were conducted in 2011 at four locations in Nigeria to (i) determine the comb...


Badu-Apraku, B.Oyekunle, M.Fakorede, M.A.B.Vroh Bi, IrieAkinwale, R.Aderounmu, R.O.[Combining ability, heterotic patterns and genetic diversity of extraearly yellow inbreds under contrasting environments]Combining ability, heterotic patterns and genetic diversity of extraearly yellow inbreds under contrasting environments

A study was conducted in Kano and Bauchi States in the dry Savanna of northern Nigeria to determine Striga incidence and infestation and relate these to soil fertility status and yield of maize. A three-stage sampling technique was used to select communities and fields in targeted Local Governmen...


Ekeleme, F.Jibrin, J.M.Kamara, A.Oluoch, M.Samndi, A.Fagge, A.[Assessment of the relationship between soil properties, Striga hermonthica infestation and the onfarm yields of maize in the dry Savannas of Nigeria]Assessment of the relationship between soil properties, Striga hermonthica infestation and the onfarm yields of maize in the dry Savannas of Nigeria

The parasitic flowering plants Striga gesnerioides (Willd.) Vatke and Alectra vogelii (Benth.) are formidable cowpea production constraints in the West and Central African savanna. The two parasites cause substantial yield reduction in cowpea in the dry savannas. A field study was conducted to sc...


Omoigui, L.O.Kamara, A.Ishiyaku, M.Boukar, O.[Comparative responses of cowpea breeding lines to Striga and Alectra in the dry savanna of northeast Nigeria]Comparative responses of cowpea breeding lines to Striga and Alectra in the dry savanna of northeast Nigeria

Infestation of cereals and cowpeas by Striga species constitute a major constraint to increased crop productivity in the savannas of northern Nigeria. Field surveys were undertaken in Jigawa State, Nigeria in 2012 to assess (i) the level and extent of Strgia infestation of cereal and cowpea field...
