In the Guinea Savanna, trials on the effects of nitrogen on the response of resistant and susceptible upland rice varieties to Striga hermonthica infestation and the effect of resistant and susceptible varieties of maize and crop rotation on Striga infestation was carried out, while the effect of...
A survey of herbivores of Striga hermonthica Del. Benth., a root parasite of cereal crops, was conducted in northern Ghana in 1992. Smicronyx umbrinus Hustache (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) and Junonia orithya L. (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) were found to attack S. hermonthica in all areas su...
Production of maize in western Kenya is adversely affected by Striga hermonthica. Integrating legumes as intercrops is one way of reducing the density of S. hermonthica in the soil and improving the livelihood of subsistence farming communities. Legume s
Striga hermonthica reduces photosynthesis in sorghum: the importance of stomatal limitations and a potential role for ABA? We report the effects of the root hemiparasite Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth. on the growth and photosynthesis of two cultivars of sorghum: CSH-1, a susc... D.L. ...
hermonthica (Del.) Benth. and S. asiatica (L.) Kuntze, known as witch weeds, are one of the most troublesome and damaging weeds in the world (Parker, 2009). They belong to the Orobanchaceae family (ex Scrophulariaceae) and are obligate root hemiparasitic plants (Olmstead et al., 2001;...
Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth. is the major biotic constraint to sorghum production. Its control is difficult and can only be achieved through integrated... A Mohamed,R Ali,O Elhassan,... - 《Journal of Plant Science & Molecular Breeding》 被引量: 12发表: 2014年 Identification of new...
Infestation by the parasitic plant Striga hermonthica is a severe threat to food security in sub㏒aharan Africa, impacting the production of the major staple crops pearl millet and sorghum, equating to 7–10 billion $ losses. Using Striga seed dependency on host‐released germination stimulants,...
In this study, we describe a root observation system called the sand packed titer plate assay (SPTPA) used to study early postattachment development of Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth. on two maize (Zea mays L.) and two sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] inbred lines selected for ...
