Crenate broomrape

Orobanche crenata

Crenate broomrape (Orobanche crenata) is a parasitic plant.

Orobanche infestations can be devastating to crops and remove otherwise productive land from effective use for very long periods of time. Crenate broomrape is well known as a major constraint for faba bean, vetches and lentil, being of importance also on other grain and forage legumes.

For more information about this plant pest, see the CABI data sheet.
