N2  - Cuscuta genus, located in the Cuscutaceae family is a plant community full of parasites. The genus is locally known by different names like cinsaçı, verem otu, maraz, sarıot, sarmaşık, keçi sakalı, küsküt, gelinsaçı, küşüt and şeytansaçı in Turkey. The plant is orange-yellowish in color, thready and having leafless stems. The flowers are 2-3 mm long, pedicelate (flower stalk), flowers are short and are gathered in compact communities. The seeds of parasitic plant germinate when find necessary temperature and humidity without the presence of host. The body of the parasitic plant facing towards host produces the vines and these vines form association with the xylem and phloem of the host. By this way the plant gets the organic and inorganic nutrients required for living from the host. These parasitic plants store water and nutrients in high quantities, and at later stages can continue surviving without getting dependent on host. One Cuscuta plant produces 3.00025.000 seeds. Cuscuta is among completely parasitic weeds and reduces sugar beet yield up to 3.5-4 tons ha-1. There are number of studies indicating that Cuscuta campestris Yunck decreases the sugar beet seed yield and sugar contents upt0 63% and 18.7-55.4% respectively. C. campestris originating from America has been recognized as invasive parasitic weeds in many countries and mostly invades sugarbeet crop. In Turkey, the sugar beet is widely cultivated in Central Anatolia region. In this region the prevalence of C. campestris has been recorded 25-49%. Additionally, C. europaea, C. epythmum species has also been widely found in the region. Tokat Province has an important place in terms of sugar beet production in Turkey. The surveys conducted in Tokat and its different districts indicated that the C. campestris infestation varied from 32-36% (in terms of number of quadrates) while the most infested district was found to be Pazar. According to the number of fields infested; Turhal district was found to be most infested with 72.7% infestation. If management practices are not improved against this invasive parasitic weed; severe yield losses are expected to happen in the future
