Silicon Protection of Sugar Beet (Beta vulgaris) Against Field Dodder (Cuscuta campestris): Preliminary Analysis

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2025.
ABSTRACT This preliminary study aimed to investigate the mitigation effect of silicon (Si) on field dodder‐induced stress in sugar beet. The experiment was conducted as a completely randomized design with three factors, including parasitic infection (non‐parasitized and dodder‐parasitized sugar beet), Si source (5 mM Si in the form of Na2SiO3 or K2SiO3)

Is there appearance of new broomrape race in Serbia? [PDF]

, 2012
Broomrape in sunflower fields in Serbia has been appearing with a varying intensity almost every year. Yield losses depend on the intensity of the attack and they can range from 5 to 100 %. According to previous investigations of the broomrape population

Essential plant nutrients impair post‐germination development of Striga in sorghum

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 2, Page 422-435, March 2025.
Infestation by the parasitic weed Striga is a major cause of cereal crop production losses on smallholder farms in Africa. Essential plant nutrients play an important indirect role in parasite seed germination, the first prerequisite for successful parasitism.

Efficacy of granular Pesta mucilage formulation of Fusarium oxysporum for biological control of Egyptian broomrape Phelipanche aegyptiaca (Pers.) Pomel. in tomato fields [PDF]

Journal of Crop Protection
One of the employed formulations in the biological control of broomrape is the application of a Pesta granular formulation using semolina, sucrose, and kaolin. In this study, the efficacy of Pseta granular formulation of Fusarium oxysporum by using 3, 5,

Comparative gene expression analysis of differentiated terminal and lateral haustoria of the obligate root parasitic plant Phelipanche ramosa (Orobanchaceae)

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 2, Page 360-366, March 2025.
The parasitic weed Phelipanche ramosa thrives on a broad spectrum of cash crops over the Northern Hemisphere. Unfortunately, current management practices are inefficient in controlling its devastating impacts and spread. Here, valuable insights are provided on an understudied aspect of its biology, the formation of a feeding organ network on the ...

Aging seeds of weedy broomrapes and witchweeds lose sensitivity to strigolactones as DNA demethylates

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 2, Page 476-485, March 2025.
Broomrapes and witchweeds have devastating effects on crops in parts of Europe, Africa, and Asia. The key to their success is the production of copious, long‐lived seeds, which germinate in response to the perception of chemicals released by their hosts' roots.

Differences in the ecology of witchweed and vampireweed: Implications for rice farming in Africa

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 2, Page 347-353, March 2025.
Parasitic weeds in African rice systems threaten household‐level food security and income generation. Most affected farmers are smallholders with limited capacities to address these pests. Obligate parasites Striga asiatica and Striga hermonthica (witchweed) are problematic in rainfed upland rice, affecting approximately 312,000 households. Facultative
