Several years of research have provided promising technologies, based on the fundamental biology of the parasite-host associations, for dealing with this scourge. However, there is an apparent realization that these technologies will fail because highly successful weeds such as Striga evolve resistance to all types of controls unless proven methods are integrated with each other for a more sustainablWeedsIntegrated controlWitchweedsIntegrated controlWeedsIntegrated control.WitchweedsIntegrated control.632/.52Ejeta Gebisa1724802Gressel Jonathan1111899MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910809412303321Integrating new technologies for striga control4127159UNINA
