Use of ethylene-producing bacteria for stimulation of Striga spp. seed germination

1999-07-01

Abstract excerpt

Striga spp. are obligate root-parasitic flowering plants that threaten cereal and legume production, and consequently human well-being, in Africa. Successful control depends on eliminating the seed reserves of Striga spp. in soil and preventing parasitism. A proven method of eliminating these seed reserves is soil-injection of ethylene gas. This method was used successfully in the United States to control Striga a...
