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 ...

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.

A powerful molecular marker to detect mutations at sorghum LOW GERMINATION STIMULANT 1

The Plant Genome
The parasitic weed Striga (Striga hermonthica) limits productivity of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) and other cereals in sub‐Saharan Africa and elsewhere. Improved host plant genetics is an effective control method but verified loci contributing to Striga ...

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.

Legume-derived phenolic acids influence Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. strigae compatibility and biocontrol potential in a Striga push–pull system

Biological Control
Biological control of Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth. includes push–pull, intercropping using legumes, and soil-borne fungi such as Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. strigae (FOS).

Testcross performance of Striga-resistant maize inbred lines and testers with varying levels of Striga reaction

CABI Agriculture and Bioscience
Background Using a desirable tester is considered one method used to maximise genetic differences among test crosses derived from new inbred lines and improves the overall performance of maize. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the potency of the tester
