Verbatim
e1“Spatial expansion of S. hermonthica and decrease in millet yield in a field was slower, on average, when stochasticity of attachment of seedlings to the host was included and compared to the deterministic model”
e5“Sensitivity analysis showed that only three out of eight life cycle parameters were of minor importance for seedbank dynamics and millet yield”

Other claims from this paper (7)
- Method / resource Spatial expansion of Striga hermonthica was slower in a stochastic model than in the deterministic model
- Method / resource Simulated spatial patterns of emerged Striga hermonthica plants resembled the distribution observed in farmers’ fields
- Intervention effect Weeding reduced the Striga hermonthica seedbank in millet in the long term
- Intervention effect Intercropping millet with sesame or cowpea reduced the Striga hermonthica seedbank in the long term
- Intervention effect Rotations of millet with trap crops did not reduce the Striga hermonthica seedbank in the long term
- Association Seedbank replenishment in millet monoculture was not sufficiently offset by seedbank depletion under trap crop cultivation
- Recommendation Insight from simulations can be used with farmers in a participatory learning context to affect Striga hermonthica control
