Effect of Seed Priming on Early Development of Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) and Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth
Striga hermonthica is an obligate, root parasite, that limits cereal production in sub-Saharan Africa. Successful control depends on eliminating its seed reserves in soil, thereby preventing parasitism. Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of salinity on germination traits and seedling growth of sorghum (cultivar Wad Ahmed) and S. hermonthica. The experiments were conducted in...
متن کاملRapid nitrogen transfer in the Sorghum bicolor-Glomus mosseae arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis
We have recently identified two genes coding for ammonium transporters (AMT) in Sorghum bicolor that were induced in roots colonized by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. To improve our understanding of the dynamics of ammonium transport in this symbiosis, we studied the transfer of soil-ammonium-derived (15)N to S. bicolor plants via the Glomus mosseae fungal mycelium in compartmented microcos...
متن کاملEffect of Plant Density and Nitrogen Fertilizer on Some Attribute Ofgrain Sorghum (Sorghum Bicolor (L.) Moench)
A field experiment was conducted in 2010, to evaluate the effects of plant density (D1, D2 and D3: 8, 14 and 20 plant/m2) on field performance of Sorghum under different nitrogen application rates (N1, N2 and N3: application of 40, 80 and 120 kg/ha Nitrogen, respectively). The experiment was arranged as factorial based...

متن کاملBiological control of Striga hermonthica by Cubitermes termite mound powder amendment in sorghum culture
Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth is an obligate root hemi-parasite of several cereals. Its effect on cereal crops is the main constraint for food production in sub-Saharan Africa. Various control methods have been already proposed, but the infestation by these parasitic plants persists. An appropriated method for Striga management adapted for the African farmer is very much needed. In this study...
