The increasing vegetable production in Van/Türkiye province and its
districts, where the study was carried out. The most significant of these issues is
the parasitic and highly invasive broomrapes. A survey was conducted in August-
October 2019 in order to determine the extent of the broomrape problem in the
areas of vegetables. In this study, the type of broomrape found in vegetable areas
was identified first, then the infestation rates and the average number of shoots in
each plant were determined. The results concluded that the branched broomrape
[Phelipanche ramosa (L.) Pomel] was found as a single species in all areas. It was
also detected that branched broomrape was infested with tomato, eggplant,
cucumber, and summer squash; with related densities of 4.2, 0.4, 0.26, and 0.78
%, on average, respectively. No infestation was encountered in pepper. As a result
of the study, this infestation detected in summer squash is the first record in terms
of the host series of branched broomrape. Although less infestation was seen in
other areas, it is predicted that the branched broomrape could be spread rapidly to
non-infested areas over time due to its character.
