Broomrapes (Phelipanche spp. and Orobanche spp.) are holoparasitic plants that cause tremendous losses of agricultural crops worldwide. Broomrape control is extremely difficult and only amino acid biosynthesis-inhibiting herbicides present an acceptable control level. It is expected that broomrape resistance to these herbicides is not long in coming. Our objective was to develop a broomrape con...

In Mediterranean environments, with mild winters and dry summers, peas are planted in autumn or early winter to profit from rain avoid terminal drought high summer temperatures. The root parasitic weed broomrape (Orobanche crenata) appears as a major limiting factor under these conditions. To address such specific growing conditions associated constraints, targeted breeding is needed. We presen...

sunflower (helinathus annuus) is a susceptible host to the holoparasite hemp broomrape (orobanche ramosa) in central parts of iran, causing yield loss due to severe infestations. a field study was conducted in 2006 to evaluate the efficacy of glyphosate for controlling the parasitic weed hemp broomrape in sunflower. glyphosate was applied once or twice at five rates ranging from 0.075 to 0.450 ...

Broomrape (Orobanche cernua L.) is an obligate root parasitic weed that significantly reduces the qualitative and yield attributes of tomatoes globally. The efficient management broomrape challenging because its complicated nature. Field trials were conducted to assess influence various irrigation scheduling control strategies on broomrape, presence, tomato productivity. experiment was with a r...

Broomrapes (Orobanche spp.) are parasitic weeds and considered as a major limiting factor for the cultivation of various crops in many parts of the world. Due to the special biology of broomrape, including seed production, dispersal and longevity, the control of these species are often extremely difficult. Broomrape poses a serious threat to Iran’s agriculture; therefore exploring potential bio...

Background: Broomrape (Orobanche crenata Forsk.) is a major biotic stress of faba bean and affects the yield adversely. The impact intercropping to curb spread progress parasite was tested by using two cultivars under heavily soil infested conditions broomrape. present study aimed evaluate fenugreek, flax, garlic or radish with on broomrape incidence increase yield, land usage economic return i...

in order to study the effect of environment temperature and gr60 concentration on seed germination and growth of orobanche aegyptiaca and orobanche cernua, two experiments were conducted under controlled conditions in weed research department of iranian research institute of plant protection in 2008. the first experiment was established as a completely randomized design with factorial arrangeme...

objective: importance of management of gardens weeds is an issue that unfortunately has less been investigated by weeds researchers of country. one of the most important restrictive agents of cultivated surface and producing crops of citrus orchards are weeds. methods: in this investigation, isolates of fusarium solani were recovered from diseased broomrape collected from tomato, eggplant, melo...
