Abstract

Crenata broomrape was observed on pigeon pea plants grown in Satna district of Madhya Pradesh in central India during the survey conducted in 2017. Based on the phyto-morphology, the broomrape sp. was identified as Orobanche crenata destroying Cajanus cajan. The parasitism was confirmed by the attachment of O. crenata with pigeon pea plant by the association of haustorium. The disease incidence of crenata broomrape in pigeon pea plant was recorded as 59.82%. To the best of our literature search this study is the first report of C. cajan infested with O. crenata from India.
