Striga aspera and Striga hermonthica can cause serious losses in upland rice in the guinea savanna areas of West Africa. In pot experiments, seed from Striga spp., collected from maize and rice crops in northern Ivory Coast, were sown with maize, rice, miller and sorghum. S. aspera collected from rice and maize, grew on maize, sorghum and rice, but not on miller. S. hermonthica from either maze, sorghum or rice showed no specificity and parasitized all four test crops. S. asiatica collected from maize and Andropogon sp. grew on maize and rice, but not on millet. In field experiments, five cultivars of Oryza glaberrima and two cultivars of Oryza sativa, TR47255-B-B-5-4 and IR49255-B-B-5-2, offered partial resistance to S. aspera. These rice cultivars also showed lower levels of parasitization by S. hermonthica. Parasitization of rice by 17 Striga stems m(-2), reduced rice grain yield by about 50%. Growth of O. glaberrima appeared to be less affected by Striga parasitization than a susceptible O. sativa cultivar. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
