- Intervention effect Integrated treatments significantly reduced Striga vigour and dry biomass in 2002.
- Intervention effect Integrated treatments significantly reduced the area under the Striga number progress curve in 2002.
- Intervention effect Fusarium associated fertilized plots improved sorghum grain yield by at least 15% in 2001.
- Intervention effect Fusarium associated fertilized plots improved sorghum grain yield by at least 97% in 2002.
- Intervention effect Sorghum resistance combined with fungal inoculum or urea at 200 kg ha-1 yielded significant financial profit.
- Recommendation The authors advise applying integrated Striga management consistently for several years to suppress infestation below the economic threshold.
