Striga spp. is a parasitic weed of sorghum. It is a serious threat to sorghum production in many parts of Africa, including West Africa. The weed attaches itself to the roots of sorghum and absorbs nutrients and water from the host plant, resulting in stunted growth, reduced yield, and even crop failure. It is important for farmers to manage Striga spp. through a combination of cultural practices, such as crop rotation and intercropping, and chemical control methods, such as the use of herbicides.
