Orobanche spp. are achlorophyllous holoparasites of many economically important dicotyledonous crops, and are on the plant quarantine list of China. Orobanche spp. in Xinjiang damage many important crops, such as tomato, sunflower, and muskmelon. There are 18 recorded Orobanche species in Xinjiang, O. aegyptiaca, O.ramosa, O.cumana and O. cernua being the main species. The primary control methods are quarantine, enhancing crops immunization, rotation, etc., but none of them are very effective. This review summarizes data on species, their distribution and integrated management methods to provide a reference for research and control.
