Abstract
A survey of some fruit orchards in the Central Region of the Sudan revealed severe infestation of citrus and guava trees by mistletoe.
Observations indicated that these obligate parasites are causing severe damage to fruit tree crops, which include growth loss, mortality and reduced yields.
Alternate hosts, dispersal, nature of damage and methods of control practised by the farmers together with those practised internationally will be discussed in this report.
