STEEMIT-EDUCATION OF ECOLOGY #8 [ SYMBIOSIS PARASITISM OF PARASITIC PLANTS (Loranthus) ON CACAO PLANT (Theobroma cacao L)
SIMBIOSIS PARASITISME~ In this type of symbiosis one of the parties will benefit from the organism that became his partner. Organisms that get food (beneficial) are mostly smaller in size than the living creatures that are taken (disadvantaged).
DID U KNOW ABOUT PARASITIC PLATNTS....... ?

Dendrophthoe pentandra L. is a parasitic plant that can grow on the type of plant species such as mango, jackfruit, guava and cocoa. Dendrophthoe pentandra L. is a type of Parasitic plants used as traditional medicinal plants are widespread in Indonesia. Differences in host Parasitic plants are expected to produce different secondary metabolites, so research needs to be done to see which parasitic plants have the best efficacy in overcoming various diseases especially in pathogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Nasution et al, 2008).

the damage caused by pasasitic plants in cocoa plants is very rich, because the process of spreading is very fast. if not acted quickly then parasatic plants in cocoa plants will quickly spread and damage the entire plant. as for preventing the spread of parasatic plants in cocoa plants is :
Pruning cacao plants
This pruning sounds simple, but if the pruning is not done properly, then the results of the cacao plant production will actually decrease. Moreover, if too dense, it will arise parasites such as mosses, parasites etc that are attached to the stems of cocoa plants.
keep the red ants in the cocoa plant
Protector of cocoa plants

Muy interesante esta parte de nuestra naturaleza y en cuanto a las plantas parasitarias hay muchas de las que esperamos, se estiman mas de 4100 especies aproximadamente entre 19 y 20 grupos de angiospermas. Saludos
gracias por el comentario,
la ciencia de las plantas no será discutida ... seguramente la innovación siempre está ahí
