Other claims from this paper (4)
- Observation After two months of parasitism, photosynthetic and water relation measures and chlorophyll content also declined.
- Observation The parasite spread to 20 m 2 and up to 5 m within two months.
- Observation Parasitism hampered Mikania growth and reproduction and could kill the host.
- Recommendation The authors suggest Cuscuta campestris as a potential Mikania control agent.
