A Breakthrough in the Fight Against Striga
How it works
StrigOUT™ combines a precise gene mutation with a seed-applied herbicide treatment, enabling sorghum plants to survive while effectively targeting Striga. This approach offers a safer, more efficient alternative to traditional weed control methods, especially for smallholder farmers.
