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

Legume breeding for broomrape resistance [PDF]
Czech Journal of Genetics and Plant Breeding, 2014 Legume cultivation is hampered in Mediterranean regions by the occurrence of the root parasitic weeds Orobanche crenata (crenate broomrape) and Orobanche foetida (foetida broomrape). Strategies of control have been developed but only marginal successes have been achieved.

Genetic control of broomrape in sunflower
, 2021 Broomrape (Orobanche cumana Wallr.) is a major biotic constraint in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) production in Europe and Asia. It produces a large number of small seeds that are easily disseminated, leading to the build-up of O. cumana populations, and the constant appearance of new, and more virulent races.
