Understanding the present distribution of the parasitic weed Striga hermonthica and predicting its potential future geographic distribution in the light of climate change

Julius-Kühn-Archiv, 2012
Parasitic weeds of the genus Striga (Orobanchaceae) are a major constraint to agricultural production in the semi-arid regions in Sub-Saharan Africa. Therefore, Striga hermonthica’s current and future distribution needs to be estimated urgently in order ...

Striga-Resistenz in Sorghum bicolor und genetische Variabilität von Striga hermonthica

, 1970
Sorghum bicolor-Varietäten wurden auf mögliche Resistenzmechanismen gegen Striga hermonthica untersucht. Exoenzyme des Parasiten, nötig für den Anschluß an das Gefäßsystem des Wirts, könnten durch Wirts-Exsudate in ihrer Aktivität gehemmt werden. Exsudate resistenter Sorghum-Varietäten zeigten aber keinen von dem suszeptibler Varietäten signifikant ...

Identification of new maize inbred lines with resistance to Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth.

Journal of Crop Protection, 2012
Striga hermonthica is a noxious, obligate hemi-parasite of cereal grasses that causes severe grain yield loss in susceptible maize cultivars in Africa. The development of host plant resistance is one of the most practical Stiga control strategies.

Combined use of improved maize hybrids and nitrogen application increases grain yield of maize, under natural Striga hermonthica infestation

Open Agriculture
Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth infestation is one of the major constraints to maize production in the Nigeria savannas. The application of nitrogen fertilizer to Striga-resistant hybrids may reduce Striga infection and increase grain yields.
