International Parasitic Plant Society
Welcome to the homepage of the International Parasitic Plant Society (IPPS). The IPPS is dedicated to advancing scientific research on parasitic plants. Our goals include increasing the understanding of these amazing plants, providing a platform for exchange among and beyond the scientific community as well as helping to decrease the crop damage inflicted by weedy parasitic plants.
- 16th World Congress on Parasitic plants to take place in Nairobi, Kenya
- Mixed outcomes from conservation practices on soils and Striga-affected yields of a low-input, rice–maize system in Madagascar
- Dodder and host plants exchange large amount of proteins
- Dodder mediates inter-plant salt systemic signaling
- New project focussing in Striga resistance enhancing plant nutrition of sorghum

We are working on vlog on sunflower broomrape and it would be great to have some nice pics/videos! Please, DM me or @Ferchucky if you have any and willing to share! © included! #parasiticplants #orobanche #sunflower
Does somebody have photos /videos of Orobanche cumana (sunflower broomrape) that I could use for a vlog I'm working in?
DM please 😉
