Abstract

Striga poses major constrains to sorghum production in Africa. The study was conducted in pots at Gezira Research Station, Sudan during the seasons 2006/07 and 2007/08 to investigate the Influence of D. dichotomum planting time on S. hermonthica incidence and sorghum growth and yield. Results showed that D. dichotomum planted 60 days prior to sorghum was more effective in suppressing the parasite.

Keywords: Sorghum, Plant Species, S. hermonthica, D. dichotomum.
