has emailed us as follows (22 May 2000):
We are very concerned at the listing of several Orobanche species as potential new crops since this genus has considerable weed potential in Australia. If permitted to naturalise, these species could cost Australia billions of dollars in lost grain exports and control costs. One species is currently the target of a National Eradication Program costing more than $1M in South Australia. There are plans to prohibit distribution and sale at a National level (recently endorsed by SLWRMC and the Australian Weeds Committee). Orobanche could be used as a reason to refuse export grain, since Orobanche spp. are spread as contaminants of grain. The plant can have an impact on a range of current crops, by acting as root parasites that reduce yield. Anyone found with these species in Australia faces property quarantine and potential legal action from AQIS.
