This investigation reveals significant virulence variation among Striga ecotypes in sorghum, highlighting the need for tailored breeding strategies.

Striga hermonthica significantly affects sorghum production, causing variability in plant responses to infection.
In pot trials, sorghum variety N13 exhibited consistent resistance across all tested Striga ecotypes, indicating its potential for breeding.
The study identified interaction effects between host and parasite, emphasizing the importance for effective breeding strategies.
Virulence levels of Striga ecotypes vary significantly, making it essential to consider these differences in resistance breeding efforts.

Kibebe et al. (2025) studied this question.
