"Striga hermonthica (Delile) Benth., commonly referred to as witch weed, is a major constraint to sorghum\r\n(Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) production in the Northern region of Nigeria because of high yield losses due to\r\ninfestation. To identify parental lines useful in breeding for S. hermonthica resistant sorghum genotypes adapted\r\nto Nigeria, twenty-five sorghum accessions were evaluated in Nigeria across three test environments. Both\r\nphenotypic and genetic components influenced the variation observed in the sorghum accessions. The estimates\r\nfor the genetic coefficient of variation, heritability and genetic advance for the area under Striga number\r\nprogress curve (ASUNPC), Striga emergence counts, yield and other agronomic traits, obtained in this study\r\nrevealed that genetic gain for resistance to S. hermonthica could be realized through selection. Based on the\r\nperformance of the 25 sorghum accessions SRN39, Danyana, Sepon82, and SAMSORG40 were the top four\r\naccessions found to be most resistant to S. hermonthica. Assessment of resistance was based on the low Striga\r\nemergence counts and the ASUNPC values. These accessions can be used as donor sources of S. hermonthica\r\nresistant genes for introgression into cultivars adapted to Nigeria, followed by recombination breeding for\r\npyramiding the different resistance mechanisms."^^ .
