Abstract: 
A survey of microorganisms of Striga hermonthica Del. Benth., a root parasite of graminaceous crops, was conducted in northern Ghana in 1992. Thirteen fungal species were isolated from infected S. hermonthica plants. Fusarium spp. were the most prevalent, and were isolated from more than 90% of the S. hermonthica samples collected Other fungi isolated were Alternaria alternata, Bipolaris specifera, Cladosporium oxysporum, Curvularia falax, Macrophomina phaseolina, Nodulisporium gregarium, Phoma sorghina and Sclerotium rolfsii.
