Assessment of Striga resistance in wild relatives of sorghum under field conditions [PDF]
Journal of Agricultural Sciences (Belgrade), 2018 The witch-weeds (Striga spp.) are destructive root parasites of many crops. They result in considerable crop damage, especially in the semiarid tropic parts of the world. The parasite control is difficult due to the complexity of the parasite life cycle,

Reflectance of litter accumulation levels at five wavelengths within the 0.5- to 2.5 micron waveband [PDF]
Reflectance was measured for 1-m2 range grass plots with two canopy treatments (standing and clipped) and four levels of litter accumulation and for grain sorghum with two canopy treatments. Reflectance was significantly higher at the 0.65- to 1.65-, and
