Abstract

ABSTRACT Orobanche foetida is a devastating weed parasitising faba bean crops in Tunisia. Several methods have been used for controlling this parasite, but without much success. In this study, the effect of intercropping with fenugreek on O. foetida infestation and faba bean production was studied. Results showed a significant reduction in O. foetida infestation in the susceptible (Badi) and resistant (Najeh) faba bean cultivars when intercropped with fenugreek in field, pot and petri dish experiments. This reduction appeared to be related to reduced seed germination and low numbers of underground Orobanche attachments, which may have been as a result of allelochemicals released by fenugreek roots, though this was not confirmed in this study. Intercropping with fenugreek also resulted in a significant increase in the shoot dry weight and seed yield especially in the resistant cultivar Najeh. These results attest that intercropping with fenugreek can be used in an integrated strategy management to reduce broomrape infestation.

葫芦巴(Trigonella foenum-graecum)间作可提高蚕豆种子产量，并可减少蚕豆(Vicia faba)中腐斑蝽(orobche foetida)的侵害。

摘要：斑叶豆花是一种寄生在突尼斯蚕豆作物上的毁灭性杂草。已经使用了几种方法来控制这种寄生虫，但没有取得多大成功。本研究研究了胡芦巴间作对黄粉虱侵扰和蚕豆生产的影响。结果表明，在田间、盆栽和培养皿试验中，与胡芦巴间作可显著减少感病蚕豆（Badi）和抗性蚕豆（Najeh）品种的黄曲霉感染。这种减少似乎与种子发芽率降低和地下Orobanche附着物数量减少有关，这可能是胡芦巴根释放的化感物质的结果，尽管这一点在本研究中没有得到证实。胡芦巴间作也显著提高了地上部干重和种子产量，尤其是在抗性品种Najeh中。这些结果证明，胡芦巴间作可以用于减少扫帚虫害的综合策略管理。

期刊介绍： Biological Agriculture & Horticulture aims to act as the central focus for a wide range of studies into alternative systems of husbandry, and particularly the biological or organic approach to food production. The Journal publishes work of a sound scientific or economic nature related to any aspect of biological husbandry in agriculture, horticulture and forestry in both temperate and tropical conditions, including energy and water utilization, and environmental impact.
