Influence of nitrogen fertilization on the performance of early and late maturing maize varieties under natural infestation with Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth
Field studies were conducted in northeast Nigeria to evaluate the response ofearly and late-maturing maize varieties infested with natural populations ofStrigato different rates of nitrogen (N) fertilizer. There were significant reductions in thenumber of emergedStrigaat 120 kg N ha71for the early v...
