Mycorrhizas and tropical soil fertility (2006, background): “In pot experiments, AM fungi both compensated for the damage caused by witchweed and had a negative impact on the performance of witchweed (Lendzemo and Kuyper, 2001; Gworgwor and Weber, 2003), whereas in the field AM fungal inoculation did not have an impact on sorghum, although it again reduced th”
Impact of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Symbiosis on Plant Response to Biotic Stress: The Role of Plant Defence Mechanisms (2010, background): “Accordingly, the use of mycorrhizas for integrated management of parasitic weeds was proposed (Lendzemo et al. 2005; López-Ráez et al. 2009a).”
Management of witchweed, Striga hermonthica, and stemborers in sorghum, Sorghum bicolor, through intercropping with greenleaf desmodium, Desmodium intortum (2006, background): “This situation is becoming worse as increasing population pressure on the land reduces the effectiveness of the fallow system (Lendzemo et al. 2005), or completely eliminates the practice (Ahmed et al. 2000; Kanampiu et al. 2003).”
