Dodders of natural and anthropogenically modified coenoses in Penza region and their possible biological control agents

Abstract
The article presents the results of dodder species and phytosanitary review in the Penza Region. It was determined that 3 species of the genus Cuscuta grow in this region where American field dodder is the only adventive species confined exclusively to anthropogenically modified coenoses, as opposed to greater dodder and hop dodder, which grow in natural floodplain phytocoenoses. The article describes what impact species of the genus Smicronyx have on dodders of different coenoses. It also shows that studied weevils have low importance as possible biological control agents of dodders.
