    Parasitic weeds derive sustenance from other plants and include species from four plant families: Loranthaceae, Scrophulariaceae, Orobanchaceae, and Convolvulaceae. These parasitic weeds include Helicanthes, Orobanche cernua, Striga lutea, and Cuscuta chinensis. Control methods discussed include hand picking, herbicides like 2,4-D and atrazine, crop rotation, flooding, trap cropping, and strigol which stimulates seed germination.
