Effect of various formulations of SL analogs on Striga emergence and grain yield under naturally infested farmers field conditions at INERA, Burkina Faso. (A) Scheme of the experiment conducted for Striga emergence under farmers field conditions during 2020. (B) View of the Striga infested farmers field at Fada N’gourma, Burkina Faso. (C) Average number of Striga emergence in the pearl millet field in response to formulated MP3 and Nijmegen application. (D) Average grain yield per plot from the pearl millet field in response to formulated MP3 and Nijmegen application. (E) Average number of Striga emergence in the sorghum field in response to formulated MP3 and Nijmegen application. (F) Average grain yield per plot from the sorghum field in response to formulated MP3 and Nijmegen application. Both SL analogs of EC and AG formulations (at 1.0 µM) were applied in the Striga infested pearl millet and sorghum farmer fields. Striga emergence was counted after 110 days of pearl millet and sorghum planting. Values of each bar showed average of Striga emergence per plot. Data are means ± SE (n = 4). For each SL analog, treatments with various letters differ significantly (p < 0.05). Values in parenthesis are showing the percentage increase (+) or decrease (−) over blank treatment. ns: non-significant.
