Natural metabolites for parasitic weed management

Pest Management Science, 2009
AbstractCompounds of natural origin, such as phytotoxins produced by fungi or natural amino acids, could be used in parasitic weed management strategies by interfering with the early growth stages of the parasites. These metabolites could inhibit seed germination or germ tube elongation, so preventing attachment to the host plant, or, conversely ...

Suicidal germination for parasitic weed control

Pest Management Science, 2016
AbstractParasitic weeds of the genera Striga and Orobanche spp. cause severe yield losses in agriculture, especially in developing countries and the Mediterranean. Seeds of these weeds germinate by a chemical signal exuded by the roots of host plants. The radicle thus produced attaches to the root of the host plant, which can then supply nutrients to ...

Weed Management for Parasitic Weeds

2014
Parasitic weeds, representing more than 4,000 species of more than 20 higher plant families, are one of the most destructive and intractable pests to agricultural production in both developed and developing countries. Parasitic weeds cause heavy damage to numerous crops by reducing both crop yield and quality.

Effects of Parasitic and Non-Parasitic Weeds on Sorghum

Experimental Agriculture, 1981
SUMMARYThe parasitic weed striga had significantly greater effects on sorghum yield components than non-parasitic weeds. Grain reduction caused by striga amounted to 65% compared with 32% reduction caused by non-parasitic weeds. Comparable reductions were also manifest in straw yield, grains/head and plant height of sorghum.
