Research reveals morphological diversity of millet and Striga ecotypes, suggesting improved resistance strategies in Niger.

Variations in local millet varieties were studied, revealing significant diversity and potential for resistance against striga hermonthica.
Striga infestation was widespread, with approximately 40-60% of surveyed fields affected, highlighting a major agricultural challenge.
Principal Component Analysis showed that infestation levels did not significantly alter millet seed size or weight, emphasizing other factors at play.
Analyses aim to enhance millet productivity, supporting food security efforts in Niger against pest pressures.

Salamatou et al. (2025) studied this question.
