Citations in the corpus

• 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).”
• Combined control of Striga hermonthica and stemborers by maize-Desmodium spp. intercrops (2006, background): “The most recent technology for controlling Striga through impazyr herbicide-resistant mutant maize (IR maize) has shown significant increase in maize yields (Kanampiu et al., 2003).”
• Emerging infectious diseases of crop plants in developing countries: impact on agriculture and socio-economic consequences (2010, background): “Another advantage of this technology, in addition to its affordability, is that the cultivation of legume intercropping is not precluded, as would be the case with traditional herbicide treatments (Kanampiu et al. 2003).”
• On-farm evaluation of the 'push-pull' technology for the control of stemborers and striga weed on maize in western Kenya (2008, background): “The more recent technology for controlling striga through imapazyr herbicide-tolerant mutant maize (IR maize) has shown significant increase in maize yields (Kanampiu et al., 2003).”
• Major heretofore intractable biotic constraints to African food security that may be amenable to novel biotechnological solutions (2004, background): “Such maize from the USA was crossed and backcrossed by CIMMYT into African open pollinated varieties and inbreds for hybrid production (Kanampiu et al., 2003b).”
• Participatory Evaluation of Integrated Pest and Soil Fertility Management Options Using Ordered Categorical Data Analysis (2010, background): “IR maize, developed by the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Centre (CIMMYT) and the Weizmann Institute, is resistant to Imazapyr, a popular imidazolinone herbicide (Kanampiu et al., 2003).”
• The Contribution of Breeding to Yield Advances in maize (Zea mays L.) (2005, background): “Kanampiu et al. (2003) stated, “When the IR gene is incorporated into locally adapted varieties as in Kenya, this can result in improvements in maize growth and hence high maize yield benefits to small-scale farmers.””
