Abstract

Studies on the early development of root-parasitic weeds comprise the most difficult to monitor stages in the life- cycle of these plants. In order to monitor this host-parasite interaction different growing systems were developed which support the growth of both the host plant and the parasite at least for a certain time and which allow regular monitoring.
