New Host Range for Parasitic Plants in Bonga and Yayu Natural Forests in Ethiopia ...
Parasitic plants are widely distributed across all continents except Antarctica. The competition for food nutrients and water by these plants has harmful effect on the physiological activities of the host plant. A survey on the occurrence of parasitic plants was conducted in 2011 in and around Bonga...
