Mistletoes (parasitic shrubs from diverse families), dodders (species of Cuscuta); and witchweeds and their relatives, Striga, Alectra, and Rhamphicarpa species are major constraints on African crops especially in grain and legume production. They are highly specialized weeds so understanding their unique biology is essential for control because they damage before being detected. A first step in control is sanitation through clean crop seed and destruction of the parasites after weeding. Breeding for resistance and the “push-pull” technique have shown promising results.
