O. cumana O. crenata O. minor O. ramosa / O. aegyptiaca Economically important Orobanche species The Orobanche problem - 1

Orobanche crenata – crenate broomrape largest Orobanche species common around the Mediterranean mainly attacks Fabaceae, Apiaceae yield losses from 5 to 100% individuals produce numerous highly persistent seeds yet no control method is sufficiently effective and practicable The Orobanche problem - 2

Specificity: only attaches to potential hosts Destructivity: grows fully at expense of the host Fecundity: individuals can produce more than 200,000 seeds Longevity: seeds can remain viable in the soil for more than 10 years Mobility: tiny seeds adhere to machinery, seeds, animals, … Aspects of the Orobanche Problem The Orobanche problem - 3

Developed at the Agricultural Production Systems Research Unit, Toowoomba (Qld), Australia APSIM simulates: Growth and development of crops, pastures, trees, weeds Key soil processes (water, N, P, carbon, pH) Management options (tillage, sowing, irrigation, fertilisation) Surface residue dynamics Soil erosion Cropping systems Rotations/fallowing/mixtures Short or long term effects The Agricultural Production Systems Simulator APSIM - 1  more
