In heavily infested areas, branched broomrape can cause total crop failure.

Parasitic plant Like many species in the broomrape family, the lousewort is a root-parasite.

Egyptian Broomrape is a very short plant with purple flowers and a purple to brown stem.

Once attached to a host, the broomrape robs its host of water and nutrients.

One study has shown application times between 14 and 42 days after planting to be ideal for controlling Egyptian Broomrape.

Parentucellia is a small genus of flowering plants in the broomrape family containing about four species.

Cordylanthus is a genus of plants in the broomrape family native to western North America.

Witchweed, broomrape and dodder cause huge economic losses in a variety of herbaceous crops.

Centranthera is a genus of plants in the family Orobanchaceae (Broomrape).

A single Egyptian broomrape plant is capable of producing hundreds of thousands of extremely small (0.15-0.5 mm long) seeds.

The haustorium is the part of the broomrape which attaches the parasite to the host and grows into the host's vascular system.

The host range for Egyptian broomrape is fairly wide, including many broadleaf vegetables, field crops, and some ornamentals.

Catch crops allow parasitism but are destroyed before the parasitic plant flowers, so the broomrape seeds cannot be produced and dispersed.

Pedicularis attollens is a species of flowering plant in the broomrape family known by the common name little elephant's head.

The broomrape is parasitic on other plants, draining nutrients from their roots, and it lacks leaves and chlorophyll.

Parasitic plants include Dodder, Rafflesia and Broomrape.

This is one of several plants parasitized by the parasitic plant Orobanche fasciculata.

Orobanche uniflora (N)

Orobanche vallicola is a species of broomrape known by the common name hillside broomrape.

Orobanche californica ssp.

This family has tremendous economic importance because of the damage to crops caused by some species in the genera Orobanche and Striga.

Orobanche crenata is a species of broomrape, commonly known as bean broomrape.

Purple broomrape (Orobanche purpurea)

The parasitic Knapweed Broomrape Orobanche elatior is regularly recorded.

Oxtongue Broomrape (Orobanche picridis)

The "Fusarium" species usually work through phytotoxins that help them to conquer Orobanche aegyptica 's defenses and establish themselves.

"Biological control of Egyptian broomrape (Orobanche aegyptiaca) using Fusarium spp.

"Resistance to Broomrape (Orobanche Spp.)

Branched broomrape Orobanche ramosa, native to central and southwestern Europe but widely naturalised elsewhere, is considered a major threat to crops in some areas.

Orobanche rapum-genistae, the greater broomrape, is a plant species in the genus Orobanche.

USDA Plants Profile: Orobanche californica (California broomrape)

Orobanche uniflora, commonly known as one-flowered broomrape, cancer root, ghost pipe or naked broomrape, is an annual parasitic herb.

Orobanche californica is native to western North America from British Columbia and Idaho, through California and Nevada, to Baja California.

Parasitic on the latter species is knapweed broomrape (Orobanche elatior), occurring in greater quantity on the Plain than anywhere else in Britain.

Egyptian Broomrape (Orobanche aegyptiaca) is a plant which is an obligate holoparasite from the family Orobanchaceae with a complex life cycle.

The nationally rare purple gromwell (Lithospermum purpurocaeruleum) and the nationally scarce Ivy Broomrape (Orobanche hederae) also occur.
