Plants grow up to 20 dm, are often slightly woolly, and narrowly winged along stems and spined. Phyllary (flower head scale) margins are not scarious, unlike its close relative, C. tenuiflorus. Two years after the fire: accomplishments in invasive plant control following the 2018 Woolsey Fire. High pH (6.5) also favors growth (Bendall 1975). 1981). 1982 . Marticorena, C. & M. Quezada. 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 . 1979). Free Amino Acids and Biogenic Amines Profiling and Variation in Wild and Sub-Endemic Cardueae Species from Sardinia and Corse. 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. This usually forces a massive germination of thistles that can be destroyed during cultivation (Wheatley and Collett 1981). [7] It favors grasslands, woodlands, and chaparral vegetation types, but is especially prevalent in oak woodlands in and around the Central Valley. Fl. Because of this concern, their use has been somewhat limited. Encyclopedia of Puget Sound is published by the Puget Sound Institute at the UW Tacoma Center for Urban Waters. Seed dispersal by water and on animals and machinery is less important (Parsons 1973). Carduus pycnocephalus reproduces only by seed. Epub 2019 Feb 22. Slenderflower thistle, Carduus tenuiflorus, is similar but it generally has more flowerheads (5-20), than Italian thistle, Carduus pycnocephalus (1-5 flowerheads). It is a host species for the introduced weevil, Rhinocilus conicus, which also attacks native thistles. 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). Contact: Larry Serpa, Area Manager. Stem: 2--20 dm, glabrous or slightly woolly, narrowly spiny-winged. 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. Surfactants affect the surface property of the spray by lowering surface tension to increase the herbicide's effectiveness. They are left ungrazed until the pasture has reached a height of 10-15 cm (about 6 to 10 weeks). Two fungi have been evaluated as agents on Italian thistle. MECHANICAL CONTROL. [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). % 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. 2007. 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). 1979). 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. 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. We suggest you upgrade to a modern browser. "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. -. Carduus pycnocephalus is present on both the Ring Mountain and Jepson Prairie preserves in California, with Ring Mountain having the most significant infestation. Acquadro S, Appleton S, Marengo A, Bicchi C, Sgorbini B, Mandrone M, Gai F, Peiretti PG, Cagliero C, Rubiolo P. Molecules. Carduus pycnocephalus, a member of the Thistle tribe of the Composite family, is an erect winter annual herb 3-18 dm tall. It prefers soils of high fertility, and its seedlings establish best on bare or disturbed sites (Wheatley 1971, Parsons 1973). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/, http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/, http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/, Carduus tenuiflorus var. : This plant is also on the Washington State quarantine list. 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. It is found in disturbed areas, often with basaltic soils, fertile soils, or soils with a relatively high pH (> 6.5).[5][7]. Biological control agents, particularly the weevil Rhinocyllus conicus and the rust Puccinia Carduii-pycnocephali, show considerable promise in controlling C. pycnocephalus. 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). Control of C. pycnocephalus requires active management once it becomes established in an area. Ants may also play a role in dispersing the seeds (Uphof 1942). Italian thistle can grow densely, crowding out other vegetation with dense rosette 'colonies' in the winter, thereby preventing establishment of native plants. Genus Carduus which belongs to the family Astraceae includes approximately 100 species worldwide ( Chaudhary, 2000) and is widely distributed around the Mediterranean. For larger areas where the thistles are dominant, cultivation and cropping is a successful method of control provided a vigorous perennial pasture is established immediately after the cropping phase. Native to: Northern Africa, Asia and Western and Southern Europe Syst. 3)uowiF#o (:(#;C Slenderflower thistle, Carduus tenuiflorus, is similar but it generally has more flowerheads (5-20), than Italian thistle, Carduus pycnocephalus (1-5 flowerheads).

Randall, and M. Hoshovsky. SEED DISPERSAL 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. 2,4-D has been applied to C. pycnocephalus with limited success (Taylor 1977). Because of this concern, their use has been somewhat limited. Nyman, Carduus pycnocephalus L., Carduus cephalanthus Viv.) Sheep selectively graze the tender thistles and will kill 90-95% of the weeds. Tropicos does not categorize distributions as native or non-native. Carduus pycnocephalus, with common names including Italian thistle, Italian plumeless thistle, and Plymouth thistle, is a species of thistle. albidus - C. p . marmoratus - C. p .

The plant grows in a rosettes of 10-14 inches (25-36 cm) in diameter, with four to ten lobed basal leaves that are 4-6 inches (10-15 cm) long. However, this weed does displace more desirable forage or cover plants. 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, On soils of naturally high fertility, thistle invasion can be expected at an earlier stage than on poorer soils. 1978). C. pycnocephalus apparently arrived in California during the 1930s (Goeden 1974). Corollas are pink to purple, approx.

Anonymous. The search for its natural enemies has included Italy, Greece, Iran, and Pakistan, as well as southern California (Baloch et al. Only 2-3 weeks should be required for control. Clipboard, Search History, and several other advanced features are temporarily unavailable. Bendall (1974) found that 85% of Carduus pycnocephalus seeds produce germination inhibitors, but they are readily leached. These thistles can be cultivated or manually removed when small. Marengo A, Maciel LS, Cagliero C, Rubiolo P, Herodes K. Plants (Basel). 2023 Jan 10;12(2):319. doi: 10.3390/plants12020319. Wb p Bossard, CC., J.M. The ITS region was sequenced in parallel, and a PCR-RFLP method was applied with three selective restriction enzymes. It is a serious pest in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Pakistan, Iran, and Europe. Brahmi-Chendouh N, Piccolella S, Gravina C, Fiorentino M, Formato M, Kheyar N, Pacifico S. Foods. Similarly, plants which are cut close to flowering time can produce seed on the cut portion. 437 0 obj <>/Encrypt 394 0 R/Filter/FlateDecode/ID[<6077C6EA8B98D0438538133787DC7747><7352E31CF2E5D44D8E07E3D1DB06B7BC>]/Index[393 71]/Info 392 0 R/Length 171/Prev 295012/Root 395 0 R/Size 464/Type/XRef/W[1 3 1]>>stream Thistles will invade basalt soils earlier than granite soils, and granite soils before sedimentary soils (Wheatley and Collett 1981). 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 reduces the establishment of annual grasses and reduces the value of hay and other crops due to the blanketing effect of the overwintering rosettes, high rate and timing of germination, and its broad range of germination conditions. Carduus pycnocephalus is an annual herb that is not native to California. Italian thistlegrows in dry, open area such as pastures, rangeland, right-of-ways, and waste areas. 11681. A common name search of Northwestern Sedge matches 'Northwestern Sedge' and 'Northwestern Showy Sedge'. A great deal of research has been conducted on Carduus species throughout the world, but much more needs to be done on Carduus pycnocephalus. Accessibility 2,4-D can be used in combination with biological control measures to control Carduus. 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). Spraying should be done on calm days with dry plants (dew or rain will dilute the herbicide, reducing its effectiveness). po114543:!null:!po60488:!po23271:!cbo74532:!mg84205:!mg55602:!io11908:!gp15673:!gp15673:!null:!

It is native to: the Mediterranean region in southern Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia; East Europe and the Caucasus; and the Indian Subcontinent. (Goeden and Ricker 1978). The mucilage is abundant and adhesive enough to aid in seed dispersal (Evans et al. Biological control agents, particularly the weevil Rhinocyllus conicus and the rust Puccinia Carduii-pycnocephali, show considerable promise in controlling C. pycnocephalus. Were sorry, but GBIF doesnt work properly without JavaScript enabled. BIOLOGICAL CONTROL. C. pycnocephalus seeds exhibit polymorphism, with brown seeds that have less mucilage and germinate at lower temperatures than silver seeds. 1981). Carduus pycnocephalus L.: Chile (South America)United States (North America). It persists in the soil for 1-4 weeks. GERMINATION AND GROWTH Seed germination rate in Carduus pycnocephalus is very high, ranging between 83-96%. 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. 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. The multiple stems are winged with spines. C. pycnocephalus seeds exhibit polymorphism, with brown seeds that have less mucilage and germinate at lower temperatures than silver seeds. CRUPY ). Slenderflower thistle, Carduus tenuiflorus, Washington State Noxious Weed Control Board. See our Written Findingsfor more information about Italian thistle (Carduus pycnocephalus), Clark County NWCB Fact Sheeton Italian Thistle, 1111 Washington Street SE Larvae of Rhinocyllus conicus feed within the flowerheads of C. pycnocephalus, mining the receptacle and destroying the developing achenes (Goeden 1974, 1978). 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. Without management it cannot be eliminated and may completely carpet the site. Psylliodes chalcomera was a fairly consistent associate of C. pycnocephalus in its vegetative and early reproductive stages throughout central and southern Italy. Near streams or lakes particular cautions should be taken when using herbicides. 1974. Seeds of C. pycnocephalus exhibit rapid germination (within 2 weeks) at optimum temperatures (Evans et al. Cauline leaves are tomentose on the underside and contain spines on the . C. pycnocephalus apparently arrived in California during the 1930s (Goeden 1974).

The https:// ensures that you are connecting to the 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). The search for its natural enemies has included Italy, Greece, Iran, and Pakistan, as well as southern California (Baloch et al. It was imported into California in 1969 for the biological control of milk thistle (Silybum marianum Gaertn.) 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). Biological control techniques for Carduus species have been extensively studied. C. pycnocephalus has been rapidly spreading on rangelands previously dominated by alien annual grasses (Evans et al. Weed class: A "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. Control of C. pycnocephalus requires active management once it becomes established in an area. The distance that seeds can be spread by wind is not known, but it is at least several hundred meters. Slashing is more effective than mowing as it destroys the aerial part of the plant more thoroughly (Parsons 1973). Site by, Weed biological control agents approved for California, Taking to the air to locate, prioritize and treat effectively, Tackling invasive plants on California Sept. of Fish & Game lands, Lessons from the front: Taking stock to avoid surprises, California Exotic Pest Plant Council draft list exotic plants of greatest concern October 1993. With the right combination of control measures, it should be possible to eliminate C. pycnocephalus from selected areas. Seeds of C. pycnocephalus exhibit rapid germination (within 2 weeks) at optimum temperatures (Evans et al. Communities: weed, characteristic of disturbed places, Search efloras.org (Flora of North America). A variety of herbicides have been used on C. pycnocephalus, but they give only temporary control (Wheatley and Collett 1981). C. pycnocephalus seeds are mucilaginous, unlike most other thistles. macrocephalus (Desf.) %%EOF Seed dispersal by water and on animals and machinery is less important (Parsons 1973). Several management techniques appear promising, and integrated control operations involving a combination of practices need investigation.

C. pycnocephalus can germinate at a variety of soil depths. 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). Additionally, the root must be severed at least 4 inches (10cm) below the ground to prevent the plant from regenerating. 2019 May;161:21-27. doi: 10.1016/j.phytochem.2019.02.005. Leaf: basal 10--15 cm, 4--10-lobed; cauline +- tomentose. Carduus species (Compositae) are widely distributed in the Mediterranean area, and traditionally used for both food and medicinal purposes. Continuous grazing significantly reduces thistle numbers but is not as effective as the use of an autumn break (Bendall 1973). Monitoring is needed to determine the effectiveness of any C. pycnocephalus control measures. 1981). 3152 Paradise Drive, Room 101, Tiburon, CA 94920. The plant has become an introduced species in other regions, and on other continents, often becoming a noxious weed or invasive species.
