Study characterizes morphological traits of 23 Striga hermonthica ecotypes, suggesting potential for targeted herbicides and breeding programs.

Significant morphological variability was observed in 23 ecotypes of Striga hermonthica collected across five regions.
The study revealed strong phenotypic differences in quantitative traits among the Striga ecotypes, indicating genetic diversity.
Statistical analyses confirmed significant differences in the studied traits, leading to four distinct morphological groups.
Insights from this research can inform breeding for resistant millet varieties and the development of targeted control methods.

Salamatou et al. (2025) studied this question.
