Identification of resistant genotypes against Striga asiatica (L.) Kuntze in kodo millet

Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2018
Performance of 25 pre-release cultures and 13 released varieties of kodo millet were assessed for Striga resistance under artificial inoculation. Significant variation in Striga related parameters were recorded among the evaluated genotypes.

Nutritional management and maize variety combination effectively control Striga asiatica in southern Africa

CABI Agriculture and Bioscience, 2022
Maize (Zea mays L.) is an important staple food crop in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and contributes significantly to food security. Due to Striga, maize yield loss is estimated between 20 and 80% forcing some farmers to abandon their land therefore ...

The effectiveness of Celosia argentia (Striga “chaser”) to control Striga on Sorghum in Uganda [PDF]

Crop Protection, 2003
Field, screen house and laboratory studies were carried out to assess the capacity of Celosia argentia to control Striga on sorghum in Uganda. The field experiment was aimed at determining the effectiveness of inter-planting Celosia argentia into sorghumin the suppression of Striga and increasing sorghum yield. The screen house experiment looked at the

Antifertility Activity of Striga orobanchioides.

Biological and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 1994
Four successive solvent extracts of the whole plant Striga orobanchioides have been screened for antifertility activity in albino rats. Of these the ethanolic extract was found to be most effective in causing significant anti-implantation activity. The antifertility activity was reversible on withdrawal of treatment with the extract.

Identifying existing management practices in the control of Striga asiatica within rice–maize systems in mid‐west Madagascar

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Infestations by the parasitic weed genus Striga result in significant losses to cereal crop yields across sub‐Saharan Africa. The problem disproportionately affects subsistence farmers who frequently lack access to novel technologies.
