The Parasitic Weeds of the Orobanchaceae

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Parasitic Orobanchaceae

Abstract

This chapter outlines the most important members of the Orobanchaceae occurring as weeds of agriculture worldwide, the holoparasitic broomrapes (Orobanche and Phelipanche species), the hemiparasitic Striga species and finally a few less important hemiparasites including Alectra, Aeginetia and Rhamphicarpa species. Keys are provided for the major species of Orobanche and Phelipanche and for the major Striga species. Their host ranges, world distribution and economic importance as well as the degree to which some may spread or increase further by human agency or with climate change are discussed.
