Parthenium weed (Parthenium hysterophorus, Asteraceae) is a common, invasive weed found throughout the Indian subcontinent, Africa, America and Australia. The observed disease, Parthenium Witches' Broom (PWB), characterised by phylloidy, stunting and prolific branching was observed during a field survey conducted between September 2014 to June 2015. PWB phytoplasma was detected in all symptomatic plant samples and in the previously reported insect vector, Orosius albicinctus belonging to family Cicadellidae (subfamily Deltocephalinae) and other Hemipteran insect samples by amplifying its 16S rRNA gene. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a 'Ca. Phytoplasma aurantifolia'-related strains associated with witches' broom disease of P. hysterophorus and insect vector Orosius albicinctus.

Parthenium hysterophorus is commonly known as congress grass or carrot weed in India. It belongs to Asteraceae family and native to subtropics of North and South America. It is an invasive plant species that disturbs cultivated areas, roadside vegetation, gardens etc. P. hysterophorus is considered as one of the worst weeds responsible for causing health problems in animals and humans viz., dermatitis, asthma and bronchitis besides loss to agriculture and ecosystem. Nowadays, it has become one of the major weeds in almost all types of agricultural lands and other areas. Many control methods ranging from preventive, physical methods by manual uprooting, burning and allelopathic management through competitive plants like Cassia tora, Cassia uniflora and Cassia sericea, have been recommended for management of P. hysterophorus. Likewise, insect Zygogramma bicolorata has proven successful in managing P. hysterophorus. Further, microorganisms like Alternaria alternata, Scerotiia sclerotiorum, Fusarium Pallidoroseum, Ralstonia solanacearum, and Xanthomanas campestris are reported to infest P. hysterophorus. Use of chemical herbicides mainly glyphosate @ 2.5 kg a.i. ha -1 , atrazine @ 2.6 kg a.i.ha -1 , 2,4-D amine @ 3 l/ ha -1 , Paraquat 0.5 l/ ha -1 were proved effective in managing P. hysterophorus. No single option is suitable to control this invasive weed. Successful control of this weed can only be achieved by an integrated weed management approaches.

Suspected phytoplasma and virus‐like symptoms of little leaf, yellow mosaic and witches’ broom were recorded on soya bean and two weed species (Digitaria sanguinalis and Parthenium hysterophorus), at experimental fields of Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, India, in August–September 2013. The phytoplasma aetiology was confirmed in symptomatic soya bean and both the weed species by direct and nested PCR assays with phytoplasma‐specific universal primer pairs (P1/P6 and R16F2n/R16R2n). One major leafhopper species viz. Empoasca motti Pruthi feeding on symptomatic soya bean plants was also found phytoplasma positive in nested PCR assays. Sequencing BLASTn search analysis and phylogenetic analysis revealed that 16Sr DNA sequences of phytoplasma isolates of soya bean, weeds and leafhoppers had 99% sequence identity among themselves and were related to strains of ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma asteris’. PCR assays with Mungbean yellow mosaic India virus (MYMIV) coat‐protein‐specific primers yielded an amplicon of approximately 770 bp both from symptomatic soya bean and from whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci) feeding on soya bean, confirmed the presence of MYMIV in soya bean and whitefly. Hence, this study suggested the mixed infection of MYMIV and ‘Ca. P. asteris’ with soya bean yellow leaf and witches’ broom syndrome. The two weed species (D. sanguinalis and P. hysterophorus) were recorded as putative alternative hosts for ‘Ca. P. asteris’ soya bean Indian strain. However, the leafhopper E. motti was recorded as putative vector for the identified soya bean phytoplasma isolate, and the whitefly (B. tabaci) was identified as vector of MYMIV which belonged to Asia‐II‐1 genotype.
