Climate-adapted companion cropping increases agricultural productivity in East Africa (2015, background): “…from on-station studies conducted at icipe-Thomas Odhimbo Campus in western Kenya that reported effective control of triga by greenleaf desmodium (Khan et al., 2006b; Midega et al., 010), and thus contribute to the accumulating body of knowledge f the importance of intercropping with desmodium…”
Diversification Practices: Their Effect on Pest Regulation and Production (2008, unknown): “They found that with the same repellent plant ( D. uncinatum ) they could achieve pest reduction, weed control, and increased yield not only in maize but also in sorghum (Khan et al. 2006a), increasing the applicability of a given technology to more than one crop.”
On-farm evaluation of the 'push-pull' technology for the control of stemborers and striga weed on maize in western Kenya (2008, background): “Stemborer moths prefer Napier grass to maize for oviposition, with subsequent poor survival of the larvae (Khan et al., 2006b; Van den Berg, 2006; Van den Berg et al., 2006; Khan et al., 2007b).”
