We suggest you upgrade to a modern browser. 2,4-D: 2,4-D is a phenoxy-type herbicide used for broadleaf weed control that works as a selective hormone or growth regulator. It survives best at low temperatures with short photoperiods (Kok 1979). Ex. Where a presentation is not available, find more information by reading the abstract in the Cal-IPC Symposia Archive. Carduus pycnocephalus was one of the first weeds selected for biological control study by the USDA (Schroeder 1980). 1979). It is most abundant in coastal areas and occurs as a weed of pastures, ranges, roadsides, rural areas, fallow cropland, railroad rights-of-way, field margins, and ditchbanks (Goeden and Ricker 1978). It occurs in a variety of disturbed habitats and germinates rapidly and in large numbers. According to Goeden (1974), C. pycnocephalus serves as an alternative food-plant or breeding host to a diversity of phytophagous insects, most of which are euryphagous, ectophagous, sap- or foliage-feeding species.

If there is reasonable ground cover during the late summer and autumn the thistle will not invade a site, but it will come in following overgrazing or creation of fire breaks (Parsons 1973). subsp. Carduus pycnocephalus reproduces only by seed. Nile and Mediterranean regions, eastern desert, and Sinai. The chemical is noncorrosive and is generally considered nonharmful to wildlife. It was imported into California in 1969 for the biological control of milk thistle (Silybum marianum Gaertn.) 1974. Would you like email updates of new search results? Selective weed oils: There are several petroleum oils used for weed control. Only 2-3 weeks should be required for control. It is native to: the Mediterranean region in southern Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia; East Europe and the Caucasus; and the Indian Subcontinent. Seed dispersal by water and on animals and machinery is less important (Parsons 1973). Management Research Needs: A great deal of research has been conducted on Carduus species throughout the world, but much more needs to be done on Carduus pycnocephalus. Generally it does poorly on the surface of a bare seedbed, but on the surface of clay soils it shows 70% germination. This site needs JavaScript to work properly. <<

MECHANICAL CONTROL. In southern Europe, all major parts of C. pycnocephalus plants are damaged by one or more insect species, whereas in southern California the thistles are relatively free of insect damage. In high fertility situations, using a roller to compact the soil is recommended during seedbed preparation (but not during seed sowing). 2,4-D can be used in combination with biological control measures to control Carduus.

High pH (6.5) also favors growth (Bendall 1975). All three species are unknown as artichoke or safflower pests, apparently only reproduce on Cadruinae, cause injury to vital plant parts at a critical growth stage of their host-plant (and thus appear capable of influencing the reproductive potential of C. pycnocephalus), and occur over a relatively wide geographic area. The adults are foliage feeders, but more importantly the larvae mine crowns of rosettes and tips of expanding and expanded shoots, blasting the latter, and thus reduce the production of flowerheads. Carduus pycnocephalus, a vigorous annual thistle, arrived in California during the 1930s and has since become a serious weed problem. Careers. The growth of C. pycnocephalus is favored more by the addition of nitrogen than by phosphorus or potassium. /Filter /LZWDecode

In southern Europe, more than 80 species are associated with C. pycnocephalus; about one third of them are stenophagous and restricted to host plants belonging to the tribe Cynareae. Carduus pycnocephalus can be distinguished from other thistle species by its relatively small and few terminal flowerheads and narrow phyllaries with copious tiny, firm, forward-pointing hairs, especially on the midrib (Hitchcock and Cronquist 1973). The mucilage is abundant and adhesive enough to aid in seed dispersal (Evans et al. They are left ungrazed until the pasture has reached a height of 10-15 cm (about 6 to 10 weeks).

Genus Carduus is presented in Saudi Arabia by two species Carduus pycnocephalus and C. arabicus, they are widely spread in central, eastern and the northern . Biological control agents, particularly the weevil Rhinocyllus conicus and the rust Puccinia Carduii-pycnocephali, show considerable promise in controlling C. pycnocephalus. The following is a representative barcode sequence, the centroid of all available sequences for this species. On soils of naturally high fertility, thistle invasion can be expected at an earlier stage than on poorer soils. Selective weed oils: There are several petroleum oils used for weed control. FOIA Box 2739 Avalon, CA 90704 (310) 510-1299 jknapp@catalinaconservancy.org Joseph DiTomaso University of California-Davis Spraying oil on thistle will be effective only if entire plants are coated. It prefers soils of high fertility, and its seedlings establish best on bare or disturbed sites (Wheatley 1971, Parsons 1973). Psylliodes chalcomera was a fairly consistent associate of C. pycnocephalus in its vegetative and early reproductive stages throughout central and southern Italy. Other Common Names: Plymouth thistle, shore thistle When spraying large areas, a horizontal boom (6-8 feet long) made from aluminum tubing will improve herbicide coverage. The brown seeds do not usually dehisce from the seedheads, and this may be important in the establishment of these seeds in the seedbed litter (Evans et al. 1972) and in 1973 to control C. pycnocephalus in southern California (Goeden and Ricker 1978). pycnocephalus (L.) DC., 1838, Dissertao de mestrado. C. pycnocephalus apparently arrived in California during the 1930s (Goeden 1974). It is most effective when applied in February or March at 1/8 to 1/16 lb acid equivalent per acre. Seeds buried 1.3 cm deep show the highest percentage emergence, whereas 20 to 25% of seeds buried 5 to 10 cm deep remain dormant. Catlogo de la Flora Vascular de Chile. [8] Mowing and slashing are not reliable as the plant is able to regrow and produce seed even at a height of 3 inches (7.6cm). ")\OYwoybSUU!U?7! xmY@P%i7"ri|? This is partly due to its germination requirements and timing. After 48 h of incubation the most antiproliferative plant extract was Cynara cardunculus ssp. Ants may also play a role in dispersing the seeds (Uphof 1942). Two years after the fire: accomplishments in invasive plant control following the 2018 Woolsey Fire. Italian thistle invades pastures and rangeland. Italian thistle can facilitate fire spread and frequency by providing fuels in some habitats and creates monocultures that reduce native seedling recruitment and survival. Italian thistle is a spiny annual or sometimes biennial that can grow 6 to 8 feet in height. The distance that seeds can be spread by wind is not known, but it is at least several hundred meters. It survives best at low temperatures with short photoperiods (Kok 1979). It is a serious pest in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Pakistan, Iran, and Europe. The effects of prescribed fire on C. pycnocephalus also need investigation. Cultivation before seed production will eventually eliminate thistles, but only if repeated for several years. Several management techniques appear promising, and integrated control operations involving a combina- tion of practices need investigation. intermedius - C. p . The current research aims to .

Seeds are also spread when infested pastures are cut and the hay fed to animals on clean areas. Carduus pycnocephalus Name Synonyms Carduus arabicus subsp. Carduus pycnocephalus, a member of the Thistle tribe of the Composite family, is an erect winter annual herb 3-18 dm tall. Corollas are pink to purple, approx. C. pycnocephalus apparently arrived in California during the 1930s (Goeden 1974). Biological control techniques for Carduus species have been extensively studied. It is foliar absorbed and translocated, making it effective in destroying the roots. [3][4][5], Carduus pycnocephalus has become a noxious weed in Australia, New Zealand, Macaronesia, South Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, South America, Hawaii, and North America, especially in much of California. Mowing or slashing is not always reliable because the plant can regrow from the base and produce seeds very quickly.

Unfortunately, half of the identified species of insects found feeding on C. pycnocephalus in southern California are also pests of cultivated plants, thus not good choices for biocontrol. 1985. 2007. Unfortunately, half of the identified species of insects found feeding on C. pycnocephalus in southern California are also pests of cultivated plants, thus not good choices for biocontrol. C. pycnocephalus does not reproduce vegetatively, but its seeds are well equipped for dispersal by wind because of the large pappus and relatively small size. Italian Plumeless-thistle - Italian plumeless thistle. A significant amount of seed can be produced even if thistles are constantly mowed at 8 cm (Tasmanian Department of Agriculture 1977). This weevil has been studied in depth as a candidate biological control agent by USDA entomologists and may be usefully employed against C. pycnocephalus and other CARDUUS species in North America in the near future" (Goeden 1974). J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci. 1971, Baloch and Kahn 1973, Goeden 1974). . The seeds start to germinate in the fall with the first effective rain. 1979). Each plant profile in the database contains nomenclature info, botanical data, plant description, large, high-resolution pictures, images and photos of the plants and its parts, detailed information such as uses, history . The brown seeds do not usually dehisce from the seedheads, and this may be important in the establishment of these seeds in the seedbed litter (Evans et al. [3], Flower heads are 2-5 per cluster, densely matted with cobwebby hairs at the base of the phyllaries and spiny towards the tips. C. pycnocephalus seeds exhibit polymorphism, with brown seeds that have less mucilage and germinate at lower temperatures than silver seeds. See our Written Findingsfor more information about Italian thistle (Carduus pycnocephalus), Clark County NWCB Fact Sheeton Italian Thistle, 1111 Washington Street SE Bendall (1974) describes a grazing control method that has proven successful in Australia: thistle-infested areas are closed to grazing in the fall when seedlings appear. The growth of C. pycnocephalus is favored more by the addition of nitrogen than by phosphorus or potassium. Diagnostic Characteristics: Carduus pycnocephalus can be distinguished from other thistle species by its relatively small and few terminal flowerheads and narrow phyllaries with copious tiny, firm, Berkeley, California: The Calflora . (Hawkes et al. cardunculus on C32 and . Picloram (Tordon): Dr. Jim McHenry (1985) of the University of California, Davis, recommends picloram to control C. pycnocephalus on Nature Conservancy lands. Seeds buried 1.3 cm deep show the highest percentage emergence, whereas 20 to 25% of seeds buried 5 to 10 cm deep remain dormant. The hydroalcoholic extracts of four wild edible Carduus species collected in Sardinia (Carduus argyroa Biv., Carduus nutans subsp. Bendall (1974) found that 85% of Carduus pycnocephalus seeds produce germination inhibitors, but they are readily leached. The seeds germinate at a wide variety of constant and alternating temperatures. 2,4-D is lethal to 50% of tested animals (LD50) at 300-1000 mg/kg body weight and is classified as being of "little" to "some" hazard. Its inability to reproduce vegetatively makes control easier, but constant monitoring will be necessary due to its potentially long seed dormancy (to 8 years). Flowers are purple. Management Programs: Carduus pycnocephalus is present on both the Ring Mountain and Jepson Prairie preserves in California, with Ring Mountain having the most significant infestation. Seeds of C. pycnocephalus exhibit rapid germination (within 2 weeks) at optimum temperatures (Evans et al. The multiple stems are winged with spines. Does not include management information. Leaves are pinnately lobed into spiny-lobed segments, with the terminal spine being most prominent. Slashing is more effective than mowing as it destroys the aerial part of the plant more thoroughly (Parsons 1973). Biological control techniques for Carduus species have been extensively studied.

Free Amino Acids and Biogenic Amines Profiling and Variation in Wild and Sub-Endemic Cardueae Species from Sardinia and Corse. The length of time the seeds can survive in the soil is not known but appears to be at least 8 years (Parsons 1973). Seedlings grow through the winter as rosettes and produce flowering stalks in the late spring before the summer drought. In the U.S. it is found in only a few parts of Texas and Arkansas but is rapidly spreading and "out of control" in most of California (Dunn 1976). 2019 Gary McDonald:!2008 Zoya Akulova:!2017 Gary McDonald:!2016 Ken Lunders:!2017 James Bailey:!2019 Cynthia Powell:!2017 Cynthia Powell:!2019 James Bailey:!2019 Julie Kierstead Nelson:!2019 Julie Kierstead Nelson:!2004 Carol W. Witham:! The herbicidal use of oils depends on their chemical and physical properties. Spraying should be done on calm days with dry plants (dew or rain will dilute the herbicide, reducing its effectiveness). C. pycnocephalus can germinate at a variety of soil depths. 1978). Slenderflower thistle, Carduus tenuiflorus, is similar but it generally has more flowerheads (5-20), than Italian thistle, Carduus pycnocephalus (1-5 flowerheads). Only three insect species appear to hold promise as biological control agents in California (Goeden 1974). Carduus pycnocephalus (Italian thistle) is a winter annual forb (family Asteraceae) that is native to the Mediterranean region of southern Europe, northern Africa, western Asia. Additional research needs to be conducted on insects that can be used to control C. pycnocephalus and on the potential impact of these insects upon endangered native Cirsium species (Kok et al. 11681. If there is reasonable ground cover during the late summer and autumn the thistle will not invade a site, but it will come in following overgrazing or creation of fire breaks (Parsons 1973). pycnocephalus Carduus tenuiflorus var. : This plant is also on the Washington State quarantine list. pycnocephalus Name 1979). 2023. Though some Carduus species are known to accumulate nitrates in toxic quantities, C. pycnocephalus has apparently not been incriminated as a toxic weed (Goeden 1974). Hand pulling, cultivation, and grazing are all effective control measures. Stem: 2--20 dm, glabrous or slightly woolly, narrowly spiny-winged. (2019) identified these plants at Turkish thistle, Carduus cinereus. Larvae of Rhinocyllus conicus feed within the flowerheads of C. pycnocephalus, mining the receptacle and destroying the developing achenes (Goeden 1974, 1978).
