• Major heretofore intractable biotic constraints to African food security that may be amenable to novel biotechnological solutions (2004, background): “…(Ramaiah, 1985), intercropping and crop rotations (Oswald and Ransom, 2001; Oswald et al., 2002), host plant tolerance using tolerant varieties (Haussmann et al., 2000a,b; Kling et al., 2000; Obilana, 1987; Rattunde et al., 2000; Wilson et al., 2000) and clean seed, achieved acceptable levels…”
• How can field selection for Striga resistance and tolerance in sorghum be improved (2005, methodology): “Simultaneously, in 2001 and 2002 Striga vigour scores, on a scale from 1 to 9, were given, depending on height and number of branches of individual plants (Haussmann et al., 2000). Sorghum grain yield (Striga-infested and Striga-free) was determined, based on 10 (2001 and 2002) and 8 (2003) plants p”
