Seed treatment technology: An attractive delivery system for controlling root parasitic weed Striga with mycoherbicide

2006-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Coating sorghum seeds with Fusarium oxysporum (Foxy 2) for control of the root parasitic weed Striga, appears to be an attractive option for minimizing the inoculum amount, establishing the biocontrol agent in the potential infection zone of the host plants, and offering a simple, easy and economical delivery system. Our investigations resulted in the selection of appropriate seed coating materials and a suitable...
