abstract: Striga, 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.
