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.

Genetic variation in strigolactone production and tillering in rice and its effect on Striga hermonthica infection [PDF]
, 2011 Tillering in cereals is a complex process in the regulation of which also signals from the roots in the form of strigolactones play an important role. The strigolactones are signalling molecules that are secreted into the rhizosphere where they act as ...
