<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;font-size:12pt"><P><SPAN><SPAN>Native to tropical and semi-arid Africa, Arabia and Asia, red witchweed is a parasitic plant that grows attached to the roots of certain grasses. Hosts of red witchweed include commercially important grasses and summer cereals such as sorghum, corn (maize), rice and sugar cane. It can also be found growing on a wide range of tropical grasses common on headlands and in pastures. Red witchweed causes an estimated $7 billion of damage to grain crops in Africa each year.</SPAN></SPAN></P></DIV> |
