Fusarium oxysporum isolate M12-4A is currently being evaluated for the biological control of Striga hermonthica. Inoculum production, inoculum delivery to the target, chlamydospore germination, and weed growth suppression of this weed-pathogen system were investigated. Liquid fermentation systems using organic material were evaluated for the production of large numbers of chlamydospores. A 1% sorghum straw powder (
