The dynamics of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) parasitism by Orobanche foetida
The dynamics of Orobanche foetida parasitizing faba bean are examined using Petri dish experiments. Rates of broomrape seed germination and seedling attachment to the host roots were quantified on three resistant genotypes (the Egyptian line Giza 429 ...

The current decrease in herbicide use may increase and diversify weed flora in crops as well as companion bioagressors spreading via weeds. Among these bioagressors is Phelipanche ramosa (L.) Pomel, a parastic plant which is very harmful on oilseed rape.

Genetic diversity and race composition of sunflower broomrape populations from Tunisia
Sunflower broomrape (Orobanche cumana Wallr.) was detected in 2010 for the first time in sunflower fields of Tunisia, in the Béja region. No information is available on the race composition and genetic diversity of the broomrape populations parasitizing ...

Advances in Parasitic Weeds Research
Parasitic weeds are severe constraint to agriculture and major crop production, and the efficacy of available means to control them is minimal. Control strategies have centred around agronomic practices, resistant varieties and the use of herbicides.
