The varieties 'packaged' along with a soil moisture conservation and a soil fertility management scheme were demonstrated on farmers' fields in four Striga endemic regions of Ethiopia over three cropping seasons. The objective was to expand the use of integrated Striga management (ISM) package through participatory evaluation and demonstration of the technology, and to facilitate the establishment of an informal community-based seed multiplication and distribution system. The package effectively suppressed Striga and dramatically increased yields. Striga count from the ISM package plots was ten to fifteen times lower while sorghum yield was two to three times higher than plots planted to local varieties. Farmers in all regions overwhelmingly positively evaluated the efficacy of the ISM package. NGOs and local farmers cooperatives responded to the growing demand for the ISM package by engaging in production and distribution of seeds of the resistant varieties.
