On-farm evaluation of the 'push-pull' technology for the control of stemborers and striga weed on maize in western Kenya (2008, methodology): “…crop, it is able to exert its control effect on S. hermonthica even when the host crop is out of season, an attribute that makes it a more superior trap crop than most of the other legumes that have been reported to give only some limited level of striga control (Oswald, 2005; Khan et al., 2007a).”
Determinants of Adopting Imazapyr-Resistant Maize Technologies and its Impact on Household Income in Western Kenya (2011, background): “The mean annual rainfall—which ranges from less than 1,000 mm near the shores of Lake Victoria to 2,000 mm away from the lakeshore—is suitable to Striga, as it grows well in areas receiving less than 1,500 mm of rainfall per annum (Oswald, 2005).”
Combined control of Striga hermonthica and stemborers by maize-Desmodium spp. intercrops (2006, background): “, 1959) to abort seed germination, hoeing and hand-pulling (Ransom, 1996), herbicide application (Oswald, 2005), and use of resistant/tolerant crop varieties (Showemimo et al.”
Management of witchweed, Striga hermonthica, and stemborers in sorghum, Sorghum bicolor, through intercropping with greenleaf desmodium, Desmodium intortum (2006, methodology): “…long rainy season (March to August) of 2004 at ICIPE Thomas Odhiambo Campus, Mbita Point (08250S, 348120E), on the eastern shores of Lake Victoria in Suba District of western Kenya, where both S. hermonthica and stemborers are a serious limitation to cereals cultivation (Watt 1936; Oswald 2005).”
Economic performance of the ‘push–pull’ technology for stemborer and Striga control in smallholder farming systems in western Kenya (2008, methodology): “(Scrophulariaceae) is by far the most damaging (Oswald, 2005).”
Farmers’ perceptions of a ‘push–pull’ technology for control of cereal stemborers and Striga weed in western Kenya (2008, unknown): “hermonthica and low soil fertility (Oswald, 2005).”
Climate-adapted companion cropping increases agricultural productivity in East Africa (2015, background): “Additionally, because desmodium is a perennial crop, it is able to exert its control effect on striga even when the host crop is out of season, making it a more superior trap crop than most of the other legumes that have been reported to give only some limited level of striga control (Oswald, 2005; ”
