| Abstract | ||
| This experiment was carried out at the field of the College of Agriculture /Univ. of Baghdad during the season 2006 .The study aimd to evaluate the extract of Cressa cretica L. to control dodder Cuscuta campestris. The result showed a decrease in the average weight of dodder stem diameter by all treatments after four days from spraying as compared with control treatment (water only).After eight days from spraying, the 1:1 (water : extract) and crude treatment showed significant decrease in dodder average stem weight 0.069 and 0.065 g plant , respectively as compared with control treatment (0.169 g). The stem diameter showed a decrease by all treatments after two days from spraying as compared with the control. The highest loss in the stem diameter was shown after eight days from spraying with crude,1:1 and 1:2 treatment as compared with control. They were 0.20,0.23, 0.28 and 0.51mm, respectively. The results showed that intensity of dodder stem sprayed with C.cretica extract was affected through scale consisting of five degrees. After eight days from spraying the treatments of crude and 1:1 showed the highest degree (4) (complete death) as compared with control treatment (0) degree (not affected). | ||
