Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Improved nutrition raised photosynthesis in infected sensitive sorghum from 12.2 to 22.1 μmol m-2 s-1.
- Observation Photosynthesis in infected sensitive sorghum remained below uninfected levels.
- Intervention effect In sensitive sorghum, increased macronutrients reduced relative grain loss from 100 % to 74 %.
- Intervention effect Improved nutrient supply reduced Ochuti grain losses from 80 % to 5 %.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that macronutrients restore Striga losses only in tolerant genotypes.
