Abstract: Abstract: This experiment was carried out in Striga-sick plots, in two locations under rain fed condition at the Demonstration farm of the Faculty of Agricultural Science, Gedarif University, in Northern region of the Gedarif and under irrigation at Gezira Agricultural Research Station Farm, to evaluate the activity and selectivity of post-emergence application of three chlorsulfuron formulations (Boudakiller 75 WG, Slean 75WG, Mickleen 75 WDG and Glean 75DF), each at 1g a.i./fed, on Striga control and sorghum yield. The tested herbicides gave an excellent control to the Striga (more than 90%) under both irrigation and rainfed conditions. Directed spraying of the tested products showed no visible phytotoxicity symptoms on sorghum plants. All chlorsulfuron formulation significantly reduced Striga infestation and improved sorghum growth and yield under both irrigation and rainfed conditions.
