Real Science: Each plant is capable of producing up to 500000 seeds, which may remain viable in the soil for over 10 years.[8] An annual plant, witchweed overwinters in the seed stage.[2] Its seeds germinate in the presence of host root exudate and develop haustoria which penetrate host root cells.[2] Host root exudate contain strigolactones, signaling molecules that promote Striga seed germination.[9] A bell-like swell forms where the parasitic roots attach to the roots of the host.[6] The pathogen colonizes underground where it may spend the next 4--7 weeks before emergence, when it rapidly flowers and produces seeds.[6] Witchweed seeds spread easily by wind, water, and soil via animal vectors.[6] The chief means of dispersal, however, is through human interaction, by means of machinery, tools, and clothing.[6][8] Basil Repels flies and mosquitoes.
