Small broomrape (Orobanche minor) is a parasitic weed that attaches to the roots of red clover (Trifolium pratense). Small broomrape invasion presents a significant threat to the future of red clover seed production in Oregon. This study was conducted to investigate and develop small broomrape management options for red clover...

CHAPTER 2. Postemergence Small Broomrape (Orobanche minor) Control in
Red Clover
Small broomrape (Orobanche minor Sm.) is a parasitic weed that recently has become troublesome in red clover seed production in Oregon. It was identified
in a single red clover seed production field in 1998, and the number of infestations increased to 15 by 2000 and 22 by 2001.
Small broomrape, a holoparasitic weed, is a relatively new weed introduction in the Pacific Northwest that has contaminated a limited number of red clover fields in Oregon. Greenhouse and field studies were conducted to evaluate small broomrape response to common crop and weed species in the Pacific Northwest. Host species...
Small broomrape (Orobanche minor) is an obligate, chlorophyll-lacking parasite that parasitizes red clover (Trifolium pratense) roots. This study was conducted to develop and implement an integrated, biologically based control program for small broomrape by using wheat as a false host to reduce the soil seed bank. The relationship between temperature...

Himalayan blackberry (Rubus armeniacus, formerly Rubus discolor and Rubus procerus) is a European shrub that was introduced in the United States as a crop in the late 19th century. It escaped cultivation and has since invaded a variety of sites, including low-elevation streamside areas throughout the Pacific Northwest. Listed as...
