Ornano L, Venditti A, Donno Y, Sanna C, Ballero M, Bianco A. Nat Prod Res. Contact: Larry Serpa, Area Manager. Carduus pycnocephalus L, which is related to the Astraceae family, was well-known as a privileged medicinal plant that has innumerable respected biological potency. stream Seedlings grow through the winter as rosettes and produce flowering stalks in the late spring before the summer drought. 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. Mowing or slashing is not always reliable because the plant can regrow from the base and produce seeds very quickly. The areas are then heavily grazed with sheep at more than twice the normal stocking rate. Introduction.

"Larvae thought to be Ceutorhynchus trimacu- latus were recovered from mines in crowns of C. pycnocephalus rosettes in central Italy, though only adults were positively identified as fairly consistent associates of this plant. Global Range: Carduus pycnocephalus originated in western and southern Europe but today is widespread throughout temperate parts of the world. 1981). Spraying oil on thistle will be effective only if entire plants are coated. 2,4-D ester should be applied when the thistles have a central stock height of no greater than 0.25 m (Wheatley and Collett 1981). Biological control agents, particularly the weevil Rhinocyllus conicus and the rust Puccinia Carduii-pycnocephali, show considerable promise in controlling C. pycnocephalus. Two other rusts, Puccinia centaureae dc and Puccinia galatica Sydow are also reported to attack Carduus pycnocephalus, but their impact has not been researched (Batra et al.

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. Only 2-3 weeks should be required for control. [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. We suggest you upgrade to a modern browser. 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, The plant has become an introduced species in other regions, and on other continents, often becoming a noxious weed or invasive species. of Agriculture and caused significant damage to the reproductive structures of the Italian thistle have not been utilized, due to concerns about possible predation of California's native thistle species. In field situations, the added hardship of intra- and interspecific competition may cause a greater effect on thistle populations. Species of flowering plant in the daisy family Asteraceae. Stewardship Overview: Carduus pycnocephalus, a vigorous annual thistle, arrived in California during the 1930s and has since become a serious weed problem. Medicinal properties Medicinal parts Has medicinal uses no Do not self-administer no Do no use if pregnant no Legally restricted no Toxicity precautions Medicinal notes . After their introduction to See Canyon in southern California, the weevil destroyed 90% of the achenes and infested 91% of the capitula; however, the population of C. pycnocephalus did not decline (Goeden and Ricker 1978). Yes, I would like to receive emails from California Invasive Plant Council. The mucilage is abundant and adhesive enough to aid in seed dispersal (Evans et al. To control by cutting, use a sharpened shovel at the top of the root crown. The seeds start to germinate in the fall with the first effective rain. Carduus pycnocephalus, with common names including Italian thistle, Italian plumeless thistle, and Plymouth thistle,[1] is a species of thistle. The length of time the seeds can survive in the soil is not known but appears to be at least 8 years (Parsons 1973). Munz, P. A. 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. : This plant is also on the Washington State quarantine list. 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. National Library of Medicine government site. Species descriptions and data provided by: 2012-2023. 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. 1974. Several recent studies (Kok 1980, Trumble and Kok 1980a, 1980b) have shown that the weevil Rhinocyllus conicus is not adversely affected by field applications of 2,4-D. >> The seeds germinate at a wide variety of constant and alternating temperatures. CRUPY ). These species are Psylliodes chalsomera, Rhinocyllus conicus, and Ceutorhynchuys trimaculatus. Several recent studies (Kok 1980, Trumble and Kok 1980a, 1980b) have shown that the weevil Rhinocyllus conicus is not adversely affected by field applications of 2,4-D. %%EOF Monitoring is needed to determine the effectiveness of any C. pycnocephalus control measures.

Marengo A, Maciel LS, Cagliero C, Rubiolo P, Herodes K. Plants (Basel). Drought favors a rapid increase in the thistle population. Please enable it to take advantage of the complete set of features! 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. (Hawkes et al. Most contact oils evaporate slowly and owe their plant toxicity to their high content of aromatic compounds. 1981). This species has been studied in depth by USDA entomologists as a natural enemy of musk thistle, but certainly should also be considered for importation into California for C. pycnocephalus control" (Goeden 1974). 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). However, according to Charles Turner (1985) of the USDA Biocontrol Lab in Albany, California, it is possible that these insects may also prey on several of the endangered native thistles in the genus Circium. Carduus species can be distinguished from native and introduced Cirsium species by their simple pappus hairs. 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. It survives best at low temperatures with short photoperiods (Kok 1979). The effects of prescribed fire on C. pycnocephalus also need investigation. Carduus pycnocephalus auct. Carduus species (Compositae) are widely distributed in the Mediterranean area, and traditionally used for both food and medicinal purposes. It persists in the soil for 1-4 weeks. N5D#uD0qBsOb^g UFRGS,1-132,2020, Karlsson (2004-03-18 23:00:00) Frteckning ver svenska krlvxter, Monogr. The labels also give more precise information on mixing and safety precautions. The following is a representative barcode sequence, the centroid of all available sequences for this species. A variety of herbicides have been used on C. pycnocephalus, but they give only temporary control (Wheatley and Collett 1981). "Larvae thought to be Ceutorhynchus trimaculatus were recovered from mines in crowns of C. pycnocephalus rosettes in central Italy, though only adults were positively identified as fairly consistent associates of this plant. 2,4-D does not affect grasses. The https:// ensures that you are connecting to the 1972) and in 1973 to control C. pycnocephalus in southern California (Goeden and Ricker 1978). Control of C. pycnocephalus requires active management once it becomes established in an area. Tropicos does not categorize distributions as native or non-native. The hydroalcoholic extracts of four wild edible Carduus species collected in Sardinia (Carduus argyroa Biv., Carduus nutans subsp. However, this weed does displace more desirable forage or cover plants. C. pycnocephalus germinates at temperature and moisture regimes and in seedbed environments which would inhibit the germination of the alien annual grass species that presently dominate California grasslands. Insects that tested host-specific by the California Dept. Seeds are also spread when infested pastures are cut and the hay fed to animals on clean areas. endstream endobj startxref Syst. Epub 2006 Nov 2. (Asteraceae), an endemic species of La Maddalena Archipelago (Sardinia--Italy). 1979). Slenderflower thistle, Carduus tenuiflorus, is similar but it generally has more flowerheads (5-20), than Italian thistle, Carduus pycnocephalus (1-5 flowerheads). Seedlings grow through the winter as rosettes and produce flowering stalks in the late spring before the summer drought. Without management it cannot be eliminated and may completely carpet the site. 2,4-D has been applied to C. pycnocephalus with limited success (Taylor 1977). It is most effective when applied in February or March at 1/8 to 1/16 lb acid equivalent per acre. No after-ripening is required, and seeds can germinate either rapidly or after a long dormancy period. 1978). 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. Ants may also play a role in dispersing the seeds (Uphof 1942). Genus Carduus which belongs to the family Astraceae includes approximately 100 species worldwide ( Chaudhary, 2000) and is widely distributed around the Mediterranean. Barcode of Life Data Systems (BOLDS) Stats Public Records: 1Specimens with Barcodes: 1Species With Barcodes: 1, Rounded National Status Rank: NNA - Not Applicable, Rounded Global Status Rank: GNR - Not Yet Ranked. Repeated greenhouse inoculations of the rust on growing rosettes significantly reduced the growth of C. pycnocephalus but not the number of florets (Oliveri 1984). Although other thistle species present greater problems on these preserves, C. pycnocephalus control has been included as an adjunct to other control efforts. .4-.6 in (1-1.4cm) long, and the fruits are brown to gold, with a bristly, minutely barbed pappus. Optimum conditions for rust infection (18 to 20 C, 90 to 100% relative humidity) are likely to occur in autumn, in regions with a Mediterranean climate. They are left ungrazed until the pasture has reached a height of 10-15 cm (about 6 to 10 weeks). Unable to load your collection due to an error, Unable to load your delegates due to an error. Tel. The growth of C. pycnocephalus is favored more by the addition of nitrogen than by phosphorus or potassium. At a depth of 0.5-2.0 cm germination is highest, but some seeds germinate to a depth of 8 cm (Evans et al. 1971, Baloch and Kahn 1973, Goeden 1974). 2,4-D is available in ester, amine, emulsifiable acid, and low volatile ester formulations. The weevil was released on infestations of Italian and slender-flower thistles at 16 sites in 11 counties in northern California during 1975-77 with establishment at most of the sites (Hawkes et al. The PubMed wordmark and PubMed logo are registered trademarks of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Cultivation before seed production will eventually eliminate thistles, but only if repeated for several years. Carduus pycnocephalus, a member of the Thistle tribe of the Composite family, is an erect winter annual herb 3-18 dm tall. Its inability to reproduce vegetatively makes control easier, but constant monitoring will be necessary due to its potentially long seed dormancy (to 8 years). The fungal rust Puccinia Carduii-pycnocephali Sydow, is known to occur only on the genus Carduus (Batra et al. 1971, Baloch and Kahn 1973, Goeden 1974). %PDF-1.2 subsp. The blanketing effect of overwintering rosettes can severely reduce the establishment of other plants, as the leaves of the rosette can become erect in dense stands (Parsons 1973). Seed germination rate in Carduus pycnocephalus is very high, ranging between 83-96%. The primary threat of this weed is its ability to dominate sites throughout California. Sheep selectively graze the tender thistles and will kill 90-95% of the weeds. Even with freezing temperatures during the daily cold period, germination was optimum if warm-period temperatures were from 5 to 20 C (Evans et al. Grubbing hoes must cut the plants 2 to 4 inches below ground level to prevent resprouting from dormant axillary buds. Carduus pycnocephalus originated in western and southern Europe but today is widespread throughout temperate parts of the world. subsp. On soils of naturally high fertility, thistle invasion can be expected at an earlier stage than on poorer soils. Larvae of Rhinocyllus conicus feed within the flowerheads of C. pycnocephalus, mining the receptacle and destroying the developing achenes (Goeden 1974, 1978). 1979). The chemical is noncorrosive and is generally considered nonharmful to wildlife. This is partly due to its germination requirements and timing. Cone sprayers produce greater atomization of the chemicals and increase the chance of drift into unwanted areas. Carduus pycnocephalus was one of the first weeds selected for biological control study by the USDA (Schroeder 1980). (Goeden and Ricker 1978). This is partly due to its germination requirements and timing. Comments: It displaces desirable forage or cover plants, but more commonly colonizes disturbed habitats where interspecific competition is less intense (Goeden 1974).
