African Crop Science Journal, 2013 Emergence of several seed companies in the West Africa sub-region during the last decade has necessitated intensified efforts towards hybrid development and extensive testing. The objectives of the present study were to evaluate selected Striga-resistant maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids for grain yield and stability of performance based on multiple traits ...

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.
