Combining ability of diverse maize inbred lines under Striga infestation in Nigeria and Benin
Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth. is a parasitic weed that seriously constrains maize (Zea mays L) production in sub-Saharan Africa. Yield losses from the infestation of S. hermonthica on maize can reach up to 100%. Host plant resistance is the most effective means of control of the weed, but the lev...
