Evaluation of farmers crop production practices that determine Striga gesnerioides infestation of cowpea fields in Nigerian savannas by Dugje, I.Y., Kamara, A.Y., Ekeleme, F.

“…Fields with emerged striga plants were sampled in the Northern Guinea Savanna (NGS), and Sudan Savanna (SS). The results showed that prolonged duration of land use for more than 6 years and, the continuous cropping of cowpea increased striga infestation and reduced grain yield, while increased phosphorus levels between 30-45 kg P2O5 ha-1 reduced striga infestations in NGS. …”

Assessment of farmers' crop management practices influencing Striga hermonthiea infestation and grain yield of sorghum (Sorghum hieolor) by Dugje, I.Y., Kamara, A.Y., Omoigui, L.O.

“…Relay intercropping reduced grain yield ha-1 (r = -0.52*) in· northern Guinea savanna, but sorghum-legume rotation, weeding frequency, and increased nitrogen fertilizer rate increased grain yield as these were positively associated with grain yield ha-1 in both zones. In Sudan savanna, Slriga counts were reduced by relay intercropping of sorghum with legumes, as the practice was negatively associated with Striga count, while inadequate weeding promoted infestation (r = 0.44*). …”
