Abstract

Strains ofOrobanche crenata, O. aegyptiaca, O. minor, O. ramose andO. cernua from different geographical areas and from different host species were potted with tobacco, tomato and other hosts.Orobanche cernua, O. aegyptiaca andO. Ramose from tobacco and from tomato did equally well on either host.Orobanche crenata grew vigorously on broadbean even when the original host was safflower or coleus.Orobanche minor has apparently developed several distinct strains.
