Effect of intercropping maize and beans on Striga incidence and grain yield. Integrated Approaches to Higher Maize Productivity in the New Millennium.
(2002)^ AIntercrops can smother weeds in cereal crops and improve the overall productivity. Although intercropping with beans has long been practised in the region, a practical bean population and arrangement is required in the ... -
Transposons and tolerance; teh identification of genes for Striga tolerance in maize. Integrated Approaches to Higher Maize Productivity in the New Millennium.
(2002)^ AStriga is one of the most severe constraints to cereal production in areas of the semi-arid tropics of Africa where subsistence agriculture is predominant. The development of Striga tolerant or resistant germplasm has ... -
