• EVALUATION OF INTEGRATED STRIGA HERMONTHICA CONTROL TECHNOLOGIES UNDER FARMER MANAGEMENT (2003, background): “Carsky et al. (2000) reported that Striga incidence in maize after soyabean, compared with maize after sorghum, was significantly reduced from 3.2 to 1.3 emerged Striga plants per maize plant, resulting in greatly improved maize yields.”
• Participatory Evaluation of Integrated Pest and Soil Fertility Management Options Using Ordered Categorical Data Analysis (2010, background): “Soybean and Crotalaria have been shown to reduce the Striga seed bank when planted in rotation with maize, due to the ability of these legumes to trigger suicidal germination of Striga (Carsky et al., 2000; Gacheru and Rao, 2001; Gacheru et al., 1999; Sanginga et al., 2003).”
