TABLE 1.

Initial fresh mass (IFM), final fresh mass (FFM), and shoot length (SL) of the twigs of C. racemosa presented to different hosts.

	Control	C. + bean	C. + sticks	C. + wheat
IFM (g)	0.116 ± 0.004 A	0.116 ± 0.006 A	0.113 ± 0.004 A	0.119 ± 0.005 A
FFM (g)	0.078 ± 0.009 A	0.078 ± 0.011 A	0.078 ± 0.009 A	0.078 ± 0.007 A
SL (cm)	13.18 ± 0.601 A	13.150 ± 0.717 A	12.670 ± 0.884 AB	12.503 ± 0.700 B

Values represent the mean + standard deviation (n = 20). Means followed by the same capital letter, in the line, did not differ significantly (p ≤ 0.05) by the Tukey test. C. + bean: Cuscuta + bean; C. + sticks: Cuscuta + sticks; C. + wheat: Cuscuta + wheat; and Control: Cuscuta presented to no host.
