The growth of C. pycnocephalus is favored more by the addition of nitrogen than by phosphorus or potassium. Biological control agents, particularly the weevil Rhinocyllus conicus and the rust Puccinia Carduii-pycnocephali, show considerable promise in controlling C. pycnocephalus. 1979). Several management techniques appear promising, and integrated control operations involving a combination of practices need investigation. 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. cardunculus on C32 and .

Its inability to reproduce vegetatively makes control easier, but constant monitoring will be necessary due to its potentially long seed dormancy (to 8 years). It survives best at low temperatures with short photoperiods (Kok 1979). 42: 1157. 1978). (415) 435-6465. Carduus pycnocephalus reproduces only by seed. 11681. It has been introduced, presumably accidentally, to the USA, Australia, New Zealand and some other countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and South America. 1979). 1979). Most contact oils evaporate slowly and owe their plant toxicity to their high content of aromatic compounds. It is a serious pest in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Pakistan, Iran, and Europe. Management Requirements: With the right combination of control measures, it should be possible to eliminate C. pycnocephalus from selected areas. Is this Weed Toxic? The seeds germinate at a wide variety of constant and alternating temperatures. .4-.6 in (1-1.4cm) long, and the fruits are brown to gold, with a bristly, minutely barbed pappus. Spraying should be done on calm days with dry plants (dew or rain will dilute the herbicide, reducing its effectiveness).

In high fertility situations, using a roller to compact the soil is recommended during seedbed preparation (but not during seed sowing). Because of this concern, their use has been somewhat limited. Prior to using any herbicide, check with the County Agricultural Commissioner to determine which chemicals are legal to use in a given situation. (Hawkes et al. In California, more than 40 species of indigenous or introduced phytophagous insects have adopted this alien weed as an alternate food-plant, at least 15 of which also find it a suitable reproduc- tive host. According to Wheatley and Collett (1981), hand-hoeing is effective for small patches, but make sure to sever the root a good 10 cm below ground level. 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. eCollection 2019.

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. Comments: It displaces desirable forage or cover plants, but more commonly colonizes disturbed habitats where interspecific competition is less intense (Goeden 1974). Species Impact: 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). Where a presentation is not available, find more information by reading the abstract in the Cal-IPC Symposia Archive. Stewardship Overview: Carduus pycnocephalus, a vigorous annual thistle, arrived in California during the 1930s and has since become a serious weed problem. Thistles will invade basalt soils earlier than granite soils, and granite soils before sedimentary soils (Wheatley and Collett 1981). In field situations, the added hardship of intra- and interspecific competition may cause a greater effect on thistle populations. Seeds are light brown to brown with veins, 0.18 to 0.24 inches (4 to 6 mm long), with hairs attache at one end. Ants may also play a role in dispersing the seeds (Uphof 1942). This weevil mainly reproduces on certain thistles belonging to the Carduus-Silybumcirsium complex. 1974. Year Listed: 1991 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). The greatest diurnal fluctuation that supported optimum germination was 10 C for 16 hours and 35 C for 8 hours in each 24-hour period. The search for its natural enemies has included Italy, Greece, Iran, and Pakistan, as well as southern California (Baloch et al. Corollas are pink to purple, approx. macrocephalus (Desf.) Picloram kills half the test animals (LD50) at 8000 mg/kg body weight and is considered to be of "relatively no hazard." Carduus pycnocephalus, with common names including Italian thistle, Italian plumeless thistle, and Plymouth thistle, is a species of thistle. 1985. See our postcardfor early detection information about Italian and slenderflower thistle. CHEMICAL CONTROL. 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. A significant amount of seed can be produced even if thistles are constantly mowed at 8 cm (Tasmanian Department of Agriculture 1977). Since it is a nonselective herbicide, it must be carefully applied. Slenderflower thistle, Carduus tenuiflorus, is similar but it generally has more flowerheads (5-20), than Italian thistle, Carduus pycnocephalus (1-5 flowerheads). The distance that seeds can be spread by wind is not known, but it is at least several hundred meters. Mechanical methods can be effective but must be done before the plant sets seed. C. pycnocephalus apparently arrived in California during the 1930s (Goeden 1974). Carduus pycnocephalus was one of the first weeds selected for biological control study by the USDA (Schroeder 1980). It persists in the soil for 1-4 weeks. Utilizing double quotes for exact terms can narrow your search results. Stem: 2--20 dm, glabrous or slightly woolly, narrowly spiny-winged. Please see WAC 16-752 for more information on the quarantine list. 2,4-D can be used in combination with biological control measures to control Carduus. FOIA Picloram kills half the test animals (LD50) at 8000 mg/kg body weight and is considered to be of "relatively no hazard." The length of time the seeds can survive in the soil is not known but appears to be at least 8 years (Parsons 1973). Carduus pycnocephalus was one of the first weeds selected for biological control study by the USDA (Schroeder 1980). 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. To control by cutting, use a sharpened shovel at the top of the root crown. 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). One drawback is its long persistence in the soil, up to 18 months. 1981). Carduus species (Compositae) are widely distributed in the Mediterranean area, and traditionally used for both food and medicinal purposes. Chemicals such as Picloram and 2,4-D may be of some use in controlling the weed, but an integrated management program involving a combination of techniques will prove most effective. 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). Ants may also play a role in dispersing the seeds (Uphof 1942). MECHANICAL CONTROL. Unable to load your collection due to an error, Unable to load your delegates due to an error. Flower heads typically occur in clusters of 2-5. L.Photo by G. Piper. They are left ungrazed until the pasture has reached a height of 10-15 cm (about 6 to 10 weeks). [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. Slashing is more effective than mowing as it destroys the aerial part of the plant more thoroughly (Parsons 1973). 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 CIRSIUM. Cultivation before seed production will eventually eliminate thistles, but only if repeated for several years. albidus - C. p . 8600 Rockville Pike It is native to: the Mediterranean region in southern Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia; East Europe and the Caucasus; and the Indian Subcontinent. Gayana, Bot. It is widely distributed in disturbed open sites, roadsides, pastures, annual grasslands, and waste areas across much of California. Spraying oil on thistle will be effective only if entire plants are coated. GRAZING, Grazing by sheep, goats, and horses can be effective in control- ling thistles, but cattle are of little value (Parsons 1973). C. pycnocephalus is a problem on Nature Conservancy property in this state and presents additional problems on grazed pastures.

APPLYING HERBICIDES: Herbicides can be applied uniformly over an area (for large infestations) or by spot spraying only the individual plants. doi: 10.1002/cbdv.202100827. Prior to using any herbicide, check with the County Agricultural Commissioner to determine which chemicals are legal to use in a given situation. 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).

Several management techniques appear promising, and integrated control operations involving a combina- tion of practices need investigation. A great deal of research has been conducted on Carduus species throughout the world, but much more needs to be done on Carduus pycnocephalus. Carduus pycnocephalus originated in western and southern Europe but today is widespread throughout temperate parts of the world. [7] It favors grasslands, woodlands, and chaparral vegetation types, but is especially prevalent in oak woodlands in and around the Central Valley. Leaves green and nearly hairless above and have cobwebby hairs below. The site is secure. The fungal rust Puccinia Carduii-pycnocephali Sydow, is known to occur only on the genus Carduus (Batra et al. 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.

Does not include management information. C. pycnocephalus seeds are mucilaginous, unlike most other thistles. 2007. Rhinocyllus conicus was first introduced into Canada in 1968 for the biological control of musk thistle (Carduus nutans L.) and plumeless thistle (Carduus acanthoides L.) (Harris and Zwolfer 1971). It is a host species for the introduced weevil, Rhinocilus conicus, which also attacks native thistles. Psylliodes chalcomera was a fairly consistent associate of C. pycnocephalus in its vegetative and early reproductive stages throughout central and southern Italy. Its spiny leaves, stems, and phyllaries prevent animals from grazing on it and nearby forage. Biological control techniques for Carduus species have been extensively studied. (2005) have reported the presence It is most effective when applied in February or March at 1/8 to 1/16 lb acid equivalent per acre. The combination of the two techniques discriminates the four species within the genus, giving further information on these little-investigated plants, traditionally used in the Mediterranean area and in Sardinia. Grubbing hoes must cut the plants 2 to 4 inches below ground level to prevent resprouting from dormant axillary buds. 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. 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. 1979). A Certified Pest Control Applicator should be hired for large jobs or those requiring nonselective herbicides. 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. (eds. Generally it does poorly on the surface of a bare seedbed, but on the surface of clay soils it shows 70% germination. 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. 463 0 obj <>stream GERMINATION AND GROWTH. 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). Sheep selectively graze the tender thistles and will kill 90-95% of the weeds. The length of time the seeds can survive in the soil is not known but appears to be at least 8 years (Parsons 1973). (Goeden and Ricker 1978). other members of the genus Carduus such as C. pycnocephalus have been reported to have potent antiinflammatory activity (Conforti et al., 2009). /Filter /LZWDecode C. pycnocephalus can germinate at a variety of soil depths.

C. pycnocephalus seeds are mucilaginous, unlike most other thistles. It occurs in a variety of disturbed habitats and germinates rapidly and in large numbers. No after-ripening is required, and seeds can germinate either rapidly or after a long dormancy period. 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).

Intra-specific variation in the little-known Mediterranean plant Ptilostemon casabonae (L.) Greuter analysed through phytochemical and biomolecular markers. Control of C. pycnocephalus requires active management once it becomes established in an area. 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. Carduus pycnocephalus, with common names including Italian thistle, Italian plumeless thistle, and Plymouth thistle,[1] is a species of thistle. The labels also give more precise information on mixing and safety precautions. subsp. A variety of herbicides have been used on C. pycnocephalus, but they give only temporary control (Wheatley and Collett 1981). Although other thistle species present greater problems on these preserves, C. pycnocephalus control has been included as an adjunct to other control efforts. "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. This is partly due to its germination requirements and timing. pycnocephalus Carduus tenuiflorus var.
