Parasitic weeds on cool season food legumes
1988The most important parasitic weed which attacks cool season food legumes is broomrape (Orobanche sp.). It is endemic in Mediterranean regions but its area of distribution can expand as host crops spread into other zones. Most of the research carried out on Orobanche physiology has focused on the germination of seed; recent data suggest a complex ...

Parasitic weeds could be considered as a separate world within the weed 'universe'. This is because of their unique systems that allow them to interact with the host plants in almost every phase of their life-cycle. This chapter considers parasitic weeds in Europe the nature of the problem, the unique features of their biology and implications for ...

Advanced Technologies for Parasitic Weed Control
Weed Science, 2012Parasitic weeds such asPhelipancheandOrobancheare obligate holoparasites that attack roots of almost all economically important crops in semiarid regions of the world. A wide variety of parasitic weed control strategies (chemical, biological, cultural, and resistant crops) has been tried. Unfortunately, most are partially effective and have significant

Parasitic Weeds and their Management
Parasitic flowering plants deprive the host plants of water, nutrients, and assimilates. Data also suggests that parasites transmit inhibitory compounds to hosts. Several species of the genera Striga and Orobanche (root parasites), as well as some species of Cuscuta and Loranthus (stem parasites), are widely distributed worldwide and cause substantial ...Rakesh Kumar, Pardeep Kaur, null Robin

Witchweed: a Parasitic Weed of Grain Crops
Outlook on Agriculture, 1990The witchweeds, in the genus Striga, are a remarkable group of obligate flowering plant parasites, some of which attack and destroy the crops of small-scale farmers in many parts of the semi-arid tropics. Striga hermonthica devastates sorghum and millet crops grown in Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Chad, Ethiopia, Mali, Niger and Sudan, and the expansion of ...
