Dodder is an unusual and unwanted plant that attacks other plants Except for its flowers, the plant looks like spaghetti noodles Its almost leafless, thread–like stems hang down atop other plants that dodder needs to stay alive Dodder does not produce its own food Instead, it steals
it from other plants It feeds by sucking juices from the plant it is wrapped around, often making its host very weak or even killing it
Dodder can find other plants by their smell When a dodder seedling starts growing, it follows the scent of plants it prefers, like tomato plants, potato plants, or other farm crops Unlike most plants that usually grow in the direction of light or warmth, a dodder plant will grow in the direction of, for example, tomato odor––if a tomato happens to be growing nearby
However, a young dodder plant must find a host plant quickly If it cannot catch a whiff of a potential host within a few days, it will dry up and disappear— even if there is plenty of water around Once it finds a host, the young dodder plant will attach itself to it and start growing faster At that point, the dodder plant will drop its root
Trang 5Dodder is thus a difficult weed to manage and a real headache for farmers When it does get out of hand, dodder can greatly reduce a farmer’s harvest or even destroy crops completely Before sowing their produce, farmers in warm parts of the world often check to make sure no unwanted dodder seeds have intermingled with their crop seeds This is a good way to stop dodder plants from sneaking their way into a crop field

plants around?
A It will soon die B It will grow deeper roots.
C It will attract other plants D It will cover the entire area of soil
