Allelopathy found hopeful utilization in plant protection against parasite weeds. The main world parasitic species are the witchweeds (Striga spp.), broomrapes (Orobanche spp.), and eventually dodder (Cuscuta spp.). Witchweeds and broom-rapes attack many economically important crops especially throughout the semi-arid regions. Early detection of parasitic weed infestation and protection is difficult because of the growth habit of a root parasite and huge production of dust-like seeds viable up to 20 years (Kebreab and Murdoch 1999).

Vetore the oxalates were mainly in the broom rhizosphere indicated that the roots were responsible for releasing oxalic acid. With respect to the Ca, Mg, K and P extracted from the bulk fine earth by water, the extraction with oxalic acid solution is from 2- to 32-fold higher, indicating that in this soil the excretion of oxalic acid from roots may represent a mechanism for the broom to take up nutrients through mineral alteration. Even though in small amounts, exudation of oxalic acid has contributed, together with the substances carried by the soil solutions through the roots, to the alteration of the minerals around the roots themselves. 

The oral LD50 of a fluid extract of butcher s broom rhizome is 2.2 ml/kg in rats and 29.21 ml/kg in mice. After intraperitoneal administration, the toxicity is 10- to 20-fold higher. An extract of the root was reportedly more toxic than that of the rhizome (Boucard et al. 1967).
