Adoption of striga (striga hermonthica) Management Technologies in Northern Nigeria
Agrekon, 2016 This study examined the adoption of Integrated Striga Management (ISMA) technologies among maize farmers in Bauchi and Kano states of northern Nigeria. It employs a double-hurdle approach to analyse the factors influencing adoption and intensity of ISMA technologies among households, using cross-sectional data of 643 farmers from the two states.

The stimulant involved in the germination of Striga hermonthica [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B - Biological Sciences, 1949 The seeds of Striga hermonthica will only germinate readily when they have been exposed to a chemical stimulant released from a potential host root, and the purpose of the investigation has been the examination of the chemical nature of the stimulant.
