Maize-grain legume intercropping is an attractive option for ecological intensification that reduces climatic risk for smallholder farmers in central Mozambique (2012, background): “, 1990); both rotation and maize–legume intercropping are effective to overcome this challenge (Oswald and Ransom, 2001; Oswald et al., 2002).”
Innovations in parasitic weeds management in legume crops. A review (2011, methodology): “Intercropping is already used in Africa as a low-cost method of controlling Striga hermonthica on cereals (Oswald et al. 2002).”
Conventional and biotechnological approaches for control of parasitic weeds (2007, background): “Intercropping maize with cowpea and sweet potato can significantly reduce the emergence of Striga in Kenya (Oswald et al. 2002).”
EVALUATION OF INTEGRATED STRIGA HERMONTHICA CONTROL TECHNOLOGIES UNDER FARMER MANAGEMENT (2003, background): “Legume seed yields obtained in 1999 in treatments 1, 2, and 4 were converted into maize-equivalent yields (Oswald et al., 2002) according to their market price in northern Nigeria (average of November and December 1999) to be able to compare the productivity of the five treatments.”

Combined control of Striga hermonthica and stemborers by maize-Desmodium spp. intercrops (2006, background): “Although intercropping cereals with food legumes could reduce the number of Striga plants that mature in an infested field, cereal crop yields were often significantly reduced in some cases (Oswald et al., 2002).”
Major heretofore intractable biotic constraints to African food security that may be amenable to novel biotechnological solutions (2004, background): “, 1995), hand pulling (Ramaiah, 1985), intercropping and crop rotations (Oswald and Ransom, 2001; Oswald et al., 2002), host plant tolerance using tolerant varieties (Haussmann et al.”
Multi-site, multi-season field tests demonstrate that herbicide seed-coating herbicide-resistance maize controls Striga spp. and increases yields in several African countries (2003, unknown): “Ransom, 2001), intercropping( Oswald et al., 2002 ), and organic (Combari et al., 1990) and inorganic (Mumera and Below, 1993) fertilizers can partially allay the problem.”
