Effects of sole cropping, intercropping and rotation with legume trap-crops on striga control and maize grain yield in farmers' fields in the Guinea savannas
On-farm trials were conducted in 2001 to 2003 in the northern Guinea savanna of Nigeria to evaluate integrated Striga hermonthica control methods under farmer-managed conditions. These included intercropping a Striga-resistant maize variety with cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) and also cropping this m...
