Response of Striga-susceptible and Striga-resistant sorghum genotypes to soil phosphorus and colonization by an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus

Response of Striga-susceptible and Striga-resistant sorghum genotypes to soil phosphorus and colonization by an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus

Striga, a genus of obligate parasitic weeds in the family Orobanchaceae, has been identified as the most important biological factor limiting agricultural productivity in sub-Saharan Africa.
