@GoodgerSimon great quiz this week!! If you get a chance help us to define our current understanding of parasitic weeds and their potential threat. We really want feedback if you don't know anything about these weeds as well as from people who have already seen them on farm.

Went live with the survey last week & already been sent a pic of Orobanche parasitising legume species in an AB15 scheme. Is the increased use of compatible host species in schemes like AB15 leading to more parasitic weeds on farm? Give us your feedback tinyurl.com/parasiticweeds
