This project investigates how certain parasitic weeds, specifically from the Orobanche genus, affect crop plants by attracting a natural enemy fly, Phytomyza orobanchia. It focuses on identifying specific volatile compounds that can enhance the fly's attraction to these weeds, aiming to improve biological control metho…
Parasitic weeds from the genus Orobanche considerably damage crop plants due to withdrawal of water, minerals and carbohydrates.
The growth of the hosts is retarded and yield losses range from 5 to 100%.
The proposed project is dealing with tritrophic aspects of the host-plant selection by the oligophagous fly Phytomyza orobanchia, a natural enemy of Orobanche species.
The novel aspect and the main objective of the project is isolation and identification of Orobanche volatiles and Orobanche-indu…
