KSTP 94, an open-pollinated maize variety has postattachment resistance to purple witchweed (Striga hermonthica)
Striga spp. are obligate root hemiparasites that constrain cereal production in sub-Saharan Africa. Although purple witchweed [ Striga hermonthica (Delile) Benth.] and Asiatic witchweed [ Striga asiatica (L.)
