Colonization and control of Striga hermonthica by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. strigae, a mycoherbicide component: An anatomical study

Biological Control, 2011
Abstract The fungal strain, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. strigae (Foxy 2) has proved to be specific and effective in controlling Striga hermonthica (Del) “Benth.” However, little is known on its mode of action. The objective of this study was to evaluate the time and extent of colonization of the parasite by the fungus which is of critical ...

Cytological investigations on colonization of sorghum roots by the mycoherbicide Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. strigae and its implications for Striga control using a seed treatment delivery system

Biological Control, 2010
The application of the potential Striga-mycoherbicide Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. strigae (Foxy 2) by seed coating is an appropriate option for delivering and establishing the biocontrol agent in the rhizosphere, the infection zone of the root parasitic weed Striga hermonthica.

Tissue specific reactions of sorghum roots to the mycoherbicideFusariumoxysporumf. sp.strigaeversus the pathogenicF. proliferatum

Biocontrol Science and Technology, 2012
Abstract Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. strigae (Foxy 2) is a mycoherbicide against Striga hermonthica. To ensure the safe use of this biocontrol agent, and as part of the risk assessment, this study was aimed at providing cytological evidence that Foxy 2 does not possess pathogenic behavior towards the non-target host sorghum.

Does vacuum-packaging or co-delivered amendments enhance shelf-life ofStriga-mycoherbicidal products containingFusarium oxysporumf. sp. strigaeduring storage?

Biocontrol Science and Technology, 2009
Abstract The effect of vacuum packaging on the shelf-life and handling of Pesta granules and seed treatment made with chlamydospores of Fusarium oxysporum strains Foxy2, PSM197 or their mixture was studied at 4°C and 22±3°C over 1 year. In addition, the effects of co-incorporated amendments [urea in Pesta or co-delivered fungicides (Ridomil Gold ...

A microbial bioherbicide for Striga hermonthica control: production, development, and effectiveness of a seed coating agent.

Pest Management Science, 2023
Witchweed (Striga hermonthica), also called striga, is a parasitic weed that causes high yield losses in maize on more than 200,000 ha in Kenya alone. A new commercial, biological herbicide developed in Kenya is able to control striga effectively.
