dodder (Cuscuta spp.), because it is a quarantine weed in Serbia and the
world. Cuscuta spp. are frequently found in natural alfalfa seeds; nevertheless
and because of this, the seed must be processed, i.e. cleaned of weeds. The
paper presents a study of seed size variability of Cuscuta spp. of four seed
lots of natural alfalfa seeds originating from Banat, Serbia. From each of
the four examined seed lots of natural alfalfa seeds, a difference in seed size
was determined for 30 seeds of Cuscuta spp. per lot. The difference in seed
length of Cuscuta spp. was 371 μm, and the difference in seed width was 330
μm. The coefficient of variation varied from CV=8.356% to 12.00% for seed
width; and from CV=9.383% to 10.69% for seed length. Seed size of Cuscuta
spp. did not significantly affect the efficiency of magnetic separator work in
extracting Cuscuta spp. seeds from natural alfalfa seeds.
