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.

Maize production constraints, traits preference and current Striga control options in western Tanzania: farmers’ consultation and implications for breeding

Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica. Section B, Soil and Plant Science, 2019
Striga spp. severely affect maize yields in Tanzania causing yield losses varying from 20% to 100%. The use of Striga resistant varieties is an economical and environmentally friendly option that can be easily adopted by smallholder farmers.

LONG-RUN STRIGA CONTROL BY SUBSISTENCE FARMERS IN MALI [PDF]

A dynamic programming model is developed to identify barriers to the adoption of long-run control programs for the parasitic weed Striga. The model is applied to Sirakorola in northwestern Mali.

Molecular Breeding for Striga Resistance in Sorghum [PDF]

, 2013
Among the biotic stresses affecting dryland cereals, especially sorghum, Striga hermonthica is the most damaging obligate parasite, and is an important bottleneck to yield increases by smallholder farmers, yet it has been neglected by research in ...
