Emploi d'herbicides pour lutter contre Striga hermonthica [PDF]

, 1997
La destruction des parties aériennes par différents moyens (arrachage, sarclage, désherbage chimique) limite la période de concurrence et empêche la production des graines. La date optimale des interventions se situe entre 50 et 70 jours après semis de la culture.

Challenges to the exploitation of host plant resistance for Striga management in cereals and legumes by farmers in sub-Saharan Africa: a review

Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica. Section B, Soil and Plant Science, 2019
Striga hermonthica, Striga asiatica and Striga gesneroides are obligate root parasites that cause severe yield losses in cereals and legumes in sub-Saharan Africa. Genetic control of Striga through resistance is widely considered to be the most practical

Identification of phytotoxic metabolites of a new Fusarium sp. inhibiting germination of Shiga hermonthica seeds

Phytopathologia Mediterranea, 2003
An undescribed species of Fusarium was isolated from the parasitic plant Striga hermonthica in Sudan. When grown both on liquid and solid media this strain produced toxic compounds causing the total suppression of germination of Striga seeds ...

Genetic gains in grain yield of a maize population improved through marker assisted recurrent selection under stress and non-stress conditions in west Africa [PDF]

, 2017
Open Access JournakMarker-assisted recurrent selection (MARS) is a breeding method used to accumulate favorable alleles that for example confer tolerance to drought in inbred lines from several genomic regions within a single population.

Evaluating Mechanisms of Soil Microbiome Suppression of Striga Infection in Sorghum

Bio-Protocol
The root parasitic weed Striga hermonthica has a devastating effect on sorghum and other cereal crops in Sub-Saharan Africa. Available Striga management strategies are rarely sufficient or not widely accessible or affordable.
