مكافحة الحامول (Cuscuta campestris L.)‎ في حقول الجت-الفصة (Medicago sativa L.)‎ و الباذنجان (Solanum melongena L.)‎

Abstract EN

During 1988, 1989 and 1990, several field experiments were conducted at the field of Agriculture College, Abu-Gfaraib, Baghdad, Iraq to control dodder (Cuscuta campestris L.) growing on alfalfa (Medicavo sativa L.') and eggplant (Solarium melonvna LA Different chemicals: Dalapon (2,2-dichloropropionic acid), Glyphosate [N-(phosphono methyl) glycine], detergent (Bagaa), urea fertilizer, kerosine and gasoline, with different concentrations were used.

The results obtained showed that Bagaa 10 liter/ha caused 50% growth reduction of dodder plants and no injury on the crop plants was detected.

Gasoline at 20 liter/ha rate gave a good control of dodder plants grown on eggplant.

The effect of the other treatments differed widely with the chemicals, rate of application, and the species of the plants.
