Nitrogen effects on Striga hermonthica infestation, grain yield and agronomic traits of tolerant and susceptible maize hybrids
phytoparasite, Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth., infests millions of hectares of cultivated fields of cereal crops in sub-Saharan Africa. Yield losses are often 70 but can be as high as 100% and farmers often abandon infested fields and move to new areas. The objectives of this study were to investi...
