''Alectra sessiliflora'' is a hemiparasitic weed on the roots of ''Asteraceae'', grasses and a number of crops (e.g. groundnut, maize, sugar cane). Seeds require a chemical stimulant from the host roots in order to germinate. The temperature also plays an important role for successful germination. ''Alectra sessiliflora'' is at least partly dependent on the host for minerals and water, and it can become a serious pest in crops.
