• Maize-grain legume intercropping is an attractive option for ecological intensification that reduces climatic risk for smallholder farmers in central Mozambique (2012, background): “, 1990); both rotation and maize–legume intercropping are effective to overcome this challenge (Oswald and Ransom, 2001; Oswald et al., 2002).”
• The potential of pigeonpea ( Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.) in Africa (2007, background): “Rotation with pigeonpea in Striga infested soils of western Kenya showed pigeonpea as one of the most productive crops with a remarkable decrease of Striga populations in maize planted after pigeonpea (Oswald and Ransom, 2001).”
• Major heretofore intractable biotic constraints to African food security that may be amenable to novel biotechnological solutions (2004, methodology): “, 1995), hand pulling (Ramaiah, 1985), intercropping and crop rotations (Oswald and Ransom, 2001; Oswald et al., 2002), host plant tolerance using tolerant varieties (Haussmann et al.”
• Crop Diversification for Improved Weed Management: A Review (2021, background): “Oswald and Ransom [70] reported crop rotation as one of the most effective methods to reduce Striga infestations in corn and increase corn yields.”
• Conventional and biotechnological approaches for control of parasitic weeds (2007, background): “A wide range of rotations can be effective in reducing Striga numbers and increasing yields in a subsequent cereal crop (Odhiambo and Ransom 1994; Sauerborn et al. 2000; Oswald and Ransom 2001; Schulz et al. 2003; Ahonsi et al. 2004; Hess and Dodo 2004).”
• Combined control of Striga hermonthica and stemborers by maize-Desmodium spp. intercrops (2006, methodology): “…methods to reduce Striga infestation include heavy application of nitrogen fertilizer, as suggested by Igbinosa et al. (1996), crop rotation (Oswald and Ransom, 2001), use of trap crops susceptible to parasitism by Striga such as legumes (Gbèhounou and Adango, 2003), chemical stimulants…”
