Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Fusarium strains reduced emerged Striga numbers and infected emerged Striga.
- Observation FK1 and FK2 had the lowest pathogenicity on Striga.
- Observation FK5 had the highest pathogenicity on Striga.
- Association Soil and climatic factors influenced strain infection rates and maize performance.
- Mechanism The authors attributed improved short-rains yield to Fusarium strain persistence in soil.
- Observation FK5 was the most effective strain for Striga control based on emergence, infection and maize yield.
- Recommendation Adopting local Fusarium strains was projected to raise maize yield from 0.95 to about 1.95 t/ha.
- Observation Site differences in strain infection and Striga emergence rates were significant.
