Summary

Preliminary evidence is presented in this study for the existence of (1) intraspecific physiological variants of Striga hermonthica, with Gabob population as the most responsive strain to a range of Sorghum bicolor cultivars, and (2) a local Sudanese sorghum cultivar called Tetron with broad-spectrum resistance to striga. Thus Tetron may be recommended as another standard resistant cultivar with reference to Framida of East Africa.
