Differences in the ecology of witchweed and vampireweed: Implications for rice farming in Africa
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 2, Page 347-353, March 2025.Parasitic weeds in African rice systems threaten household‐level food security and income generation. Most affected farmers are smallholders with limited capacities to address these pests. Obligate parasites Striga asiatica and Striga hermonthica (witchweed) are problematic in rainfed upland rice, affecting approximately 312,000 households. Facultative
