Antiandrogenic effect of Striga orobanchioides

Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 1997
The ethanolic extract of the whole plant of Striga orobanchioides given for 7 days to immature male rats at a dose level of 200 mg/kg body weight caused a significant decrease in the weight of the testes, epididymis, seminal vesicles and the ventral prostate. It also produced degenerative changes of Leydig cells, their nucleus, the seminiferous tubules

TOLERANCE OF SORGHUM LANDRACES AND VARIETIES TO STRIGA (STRIGA HERMONTHICA) INFESTATION IN ETHIOPIA

Acta Agronomica Hungarica, 2001
A pot experiment was conducted at Sirinka Agricultural Research Center, Ethiopia in 1999 to evaluate the level of resistance of local and improved sorghum varieties to Strigahermonthica (Del.) Benth. The results indicate that the three exotic varieties, which were bred for striga resistance (P-9401, P-9403 and SRN-39), and two local varieties (Ayefere-

Control—the Striga conundrum

Pest Management Science, 2009
AbstractThere is a wide range of existing and potential control options for Striga. This paper describes and discusses many of the control options, with a focus on technology limitations, adoption limitations (real or potential) and, in the case of novel technologies, development limitations. The paper addresses the question as to why, after many years

Breeding for Striga Resistance

2017
Striga hermonthica(L.) Kuntze, a parasitic weed, is endemic in a large part of the Guinea savanna of West and Central Africa (WCA). Strigaplants do much damage underground before the parasitic plants appear on top of the soil around the maize plant. The weed, which could cause 100% yield loss in the maize crop, has defied all control efforts at the ...
