| Abstract: | Two intercropping trials were established in 1985-1986 to compare the effects of inter-row intercropping, intra-row intercropping, and sole cropping of sorghum and groundnuts on emergency of Striga shoots on sorghum. Intra-row intercropping reduced density of Striga significantly when compared with sole cropping of sorghum. This effect appeared tube soil temperature-mediated. Soil temperatures in intra-row intercropping were 2°C lower and closer to the minimum threshold of 30 °C than in sole sorghum during the peak period of germination |
