The parasitic weed Striga hermonthica poses a serious threat to cereal production in sub-Saharan Africa. Striga hermonthica seedbanks are long-lived; therefore, long-term effects of control...
Does increased zinc uptake enhance grain zinc mass concentration in rice? (2008)
Jiang, W., Struik, P.C., Zhao, M., Jin, L.N., Stomph, T.J.
Rice (Oryza sativa) is the worlds' most important cereal and potentially an important source of zinc (Zn) for people who eat mainly rice. To improve Zn delivery by rice, plant Zn uptake and internal...
To increase sorghum yields in areas in Africa that are heavily infested with the root parasite Striga hermonthica, crop varieties are being bred whose roots emit fewer exudates that stimulate S....

Solanum sisymbriifolium is an interesting trap crop to control potato cyst nematodes. A series of field experiments was carried out in the Netherlands between 2001 and 2003 to test its performance...
Timmermans, B.G.H., Vos, J., Stomph, T.J.
Hatching of potato cyst nematodes is induced by root exudates of Solanaceae, such as Solanum sisymbriifolium, and is therefore related to root length distribution of this crop. A mathematical model...
Jiang, W., Struik, P.C., Lingna, J., Ming, Z., Stomph, T.J.
We investigated the uptake and distribution of zinc (Zn) either applied to the roots or to the leaves in rice during grain development. Plants of two aerobic rice cultivars were grown in a nutrient...

Diversity and food quality properties of farmers' varieties of sorghum from Bénin (2006)
Kayodé, A.P.P., Linnemann, A.R., Nout, M.J.R., Hounhouigan, J.D., Stomph, T.J., Smulders, M.J.M.
Farmers' varieties of sorghum from three communities in different regions of northern Bénin were analysed for their food quality and agro-morphological properties, and also for their genetic...

Increasing population density and food needs in the Sahel are major drivers behind the conversion of land under natural vegetation to arable land. Intensification of agriculture is a necessity for...
Does a food chain approach help to target zinc bio-fortification efforts in cereal crops? (2006)
Stomph, T.J., Slingerland, M.A., Hoffland, E., Nout, M.J.R.
Worldwide it has been estimated that 2 billion people suffer from iron and zinc deficiency-related health problems. For zinc the attained population is mainly situated in developing countries. A food...

A series of pot and laboratory experiments was carried out to assess the effects of N status of sorghum roots and timing of N application (as NH 4NO3) on the germination of Striga hermonthica seeds....
1. Estimates of seed bank depletion rates are essential for modelling and management of plant populations. The seed bag burial method is often used to measure seed mortality in the soil. However, the...

A Flowmeter for Low Discharges of Laboratory Flumes (2002)
Discharge measurements over a range from 1 L/s to as low as 0.03 L/s require special instruments. A flowmeter was designed on the basis of theoretical analysis and two major design criteria: (1) the...
Hortonian runoff was measured in the laboratory from uniform slopes of lengths of 1?5, 3?0, and 6?0 m for steady, high-intensity rainstorms with durations of 1?0 to 7?5 min. A clear reduction in...
A flume design for the study of slope length effects on runoff (2001)
Recent publications from field and simulation studies indicate that runoff per unit area decreases as the length of the slope being observed is increased. This scale effect has been observed and...
Hortonian runoff was measured from plots with lengths of 1?25 and 12 m, and at watershed level for rainstorms during the 1996 rainy season in cental Côte d'Ivoire, Africa. A clear reduction in...
