Abstract

Common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.) is native to North America; it was introduced into Europe by contaminated agricultural goods from the end of the 19th century. Since then due to its excellent ecological adaptability it has invaded whole Europe. Common ragweed is not only a noxious weed causing yield losses in agricultural crops; it invades disturbed urban areas and its highly allergenic pollen induces allergic rhinitis to sensitive people. In urban areas mowing is the most widely used mean of ragweed control.
