Tomato
cultivation was in the first place with 619.877 tons in the glass greenhouse in
the Mediterranean region. Tomato production was ranked first with 437 tons
while cucumber production ranked second with 48 tons in Kahramanmaras
(Anonymous 2015a). Many problems such as diseases, weeds and pests are
encountered in greenhouse tomato cultivation. One of the most important of
these problems is the weeds. One of the foreign weeds, Dodder (Cuscuta spp.) is a parasite plant and
the most difficult to control. When you do not control with Dodder (Cuscuta spp.), economic loss occurs 100%
in tomato yield and quality. It has been diagnosed that it is a dodder (Cuscuta campestris Yunck.) in tomato
growing in the glass greenhouse of the Agriculture Faculties. Since the dodder
seeds have dormancy, various attempts have been made to break this dormancy.
Methods of breaking dormancy on dodder seeds; low temperature application was
carried out at 3.5°C for 80 days, in deep freezer at -2000C for 24
hours, in pure water for 72 hours, kept at room temperature 260C for
284 days and 1% Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) was applied to the
seeds of the dodder for 3 minutes. From these applications dodder seed
germination was observed only in sulfuric acid applications.
