Abstract

In order to offer hints for new research, the agronomic techniques used to manageOrobanche crenata in Sicily in the late 19th and early 20th Century are examined; the publications in which they were originally described can be obtained only with difficulty. Hand pulling, resistant cultivars and late sowing are the techniques used nowadays. Screening for resistance to broomrape of the traditional cultivars of broad bean, and for the influence of sowing density on broomrape infestations, is still to be done.
