Responses of different plant species of the gender Nicotiana against the parasite weed Orobanche ramosa L.
Main Article Content
Abstract
ABSTRACT
Today’s broomrape (Orobanche ramosa L.) control methods are not efficient enough to control underground stages of this parasite. Plant resistance could be a potential practical method. In order to detect possible resistance sources to broomrape in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) an experience was carried out in Cabaiguán’s Tobacco Experimental Station, in Sancti Spíritus County, Cuba, using polyethylene bags. 40 tobacco germplasm wild inning and five tobacco commercial varieties were tested. According to the parasite emergence, five groups were differed. Commercial tobacco varieties first broomrape axes occurrence ranged from 46 to 49 days after sowing.
