Effect of KK023-N1 and Triton X-100 on Striga emergence in rice under greenhouse conditions. Formulated KK023-N1 or Triton X-100 was applied at two concentrations (10 and 100 µM), twice per week up to 4 weeks period. The emergence of Striga plants was recorded after 10 weeks of rice planting. A, Striga infestation in treated and nontreated rice plants. B, Number of Striga emergence in response to KK023-N1 and Triton X-100 application. The negative values on the top of each bar represent reduction in Striga emergence (in percentage) as compared to mock (C) rice plant height in treated and nontreated pots. Data are means ± se (n = 4).
