Evaluation of fungal isolates as possible biocontrol agents against Striga hermonthica

Journal of Crop Protection, 2014
Striga hermonthica is a parasitic weed which largely constrains maize and sorghum production in Western Kenya. The weed mostly invades small scale farms and depending on severity, it may cause damage ranging from 10% to complete crop failure thereby ...

Disentangling the importance of microbiological and physico-chemical properties of Ethiopian field soils for the Striga seed bank and sorghum infestation

Environmental Microbiome
Background Striga hermonthica (Striga) is a parasitic weed that severely affects sorghum yield in sub-Saharan Africa. Recent studies highlighted the soil microbiome’s potential to suppress Striga through interference with specific stages in its life ...

Screening Sorghum for Resistance to Striga Hermonthica (Del.) Benth

Nova Journal of Medical and Biological Sciences, 2014
The root hemiparasitic weed Striga hermonthica is a serious constraint to grain production of economically important cereals in sub-Saharan Africa. Six cultivars of sorghum Abu sabien, were tested for resistance and tolerance to this root hemi-parasite by applying one of two levels of Striga infestation (2 and 4 mg/pot).

INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT OF PARASITIC PLANT Striga hermonthica IN MAIZE USING Fusarium oxysporum (MYCOHERBICIDE) AND POST-EMERGENCE HERBICIDES IN THE NIGERIAN SAVANNA

Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems, 2011
The efficacy of a granular mycoherbicide formulation based on Fusarium oxysporum and post-emergence herbicides for the control Striga hermonthica was evaluated. Four fungal treatments were used: F. oxysporum followed by 2, 4-D, F.
