Non-chemical Control of Root Parasitic Weeds with Biochar [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 This study tested whether soil-applied biochar can impact the seed germination and attachment of root parasitic weeds. Three hypotheses were evaluated: (i) biochar adsorbs host-exuded signaling molecules; (ii) biochar activates plants’ innate system-wide

Decoupling the Good from the Bad: Translational Strategies for Strigolactone Application in Agriculture [PDF]
BiologyStrigolactones (SLs) are multifunctional plant metabolites that govern shoot architecture, facilitate symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, and trigger seed germination of parasitic weeds, making them attractive targets for crop improvement. Their

Assessment of weed root extracts for allelopathic activity against Orobanche and Phelipanche species
Phytopathologia Mediterranea, 2021 Broomrapes (Orobanche and Phelipanche species) are holoparasitic weeds that infect roots of crop hosts from Asteraceae, Brassicaceae, Apiaceae, Fabaceae, and Solanaceae.

Crop diversification and parasitic weed abundance: a global meta-analysis
Scientific Reports, 2022 Parasitic weeds cause huge annual losses to food production globally. A small number of species from the genera Cuscuta, Orobanche, Phelipanche and Striga have proliferated across many agroecological zones. Their control is compromised due to the lack of
