OAR@ICRISATPatterns Of Resistance To Striga Asiatica In Sorghum And Millets, With Special Reference To AsiaM J VRaoauthorStriga, an old world root parasite of cereals and legumes, has attracted much atrention of late, as a causative agent for serious losses in crop production in the semi-arid tropics. There are three general options available for its control : a) genetic (using resistant varieties); b) agronomic (using cultural manipulation and chemicals); and c) biological (using insect pests and pathogens). The genetic opzion appears to be economically the most viable because a resistant variety that can avert the subterranean damage by Striga is a non-cost input for the farmer. ,In this paper the distribution and nature of the Striga problem in different Asian countries is briefly described, with special reference to sorghum and pearl millet.MilletsSorghum1983Conference or Workshop Item
