Carduus pycnocephalus is present on both the Ring Mountain and Jepson Prairie preserves in California, with Ring Mountain having the most significant infestation. 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). Unauthorized use of these marks is strictly prohibited. Sixteen edible plants from Southern Italy were evaluated for their in vitro antiproliferative properties, using the sulforodamine B (SRB) assay, on four human cancer cell lines: breast cancer MCF-7, prostate cancer LNCaP, amelanotic melanoma C32 and renal adenocarcinoma ACHN. Carduus pycnocephalus reproduces only by seed. 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. macrocephalus (Desf.)

The seeds germinate at a wide variety of constant and alternating temperatures. Selective weed oils: There are several petroleum oils used for weed control. 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 following is a representative barcode sequence, the centroid of all available sequences for this species. subsp. /app/up/entry/73/th/22000.jpg:!0000 0000 0108 1272:!/app/up/mg/44/th/13398.jpg:!/app/up/entry/29/th/8868.jpg:!/app/up/cbo/248/th/74532.jpg:!/app/up/mg/280/th/mg84205-2.jpg:!/app/up/mg/185/th/mg55602-2.jpg:!/app/up/io/39/th/io11908-0.jpg:!/app/up/gp/78/th/15673.jpg:!/app/up/entry/90/th/27010.jpg:!0000 0000 1104 0321:! The multiple stems are winged with spines. 1979). The hydroalcoholic extracts of four wild edible Carduus species collected in Sardinia (Carduus argyroa Biv., Carduus nutans subsp. 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. Flower heads typically occur in clusters of 2-5. 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 length of time the seeds can survive in the soil is not known but appears to be at least 8 years (Parsons 1973). The herbicidal use of oils depends on their chemical and physical properties. 1979). CHEMICAL CONTROL. 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. Seedlings grow through the winter as rosettes and produce flowering stalks in the late spring before the summer drought. Certorhynchus trimaculatus occurs in Europe and northern Africa (Bolt et al. The use of herbicides to control C. pycnocephalus may not be appropriate on natural areas such as Nature Conservancy preserves. Thistles will invade basalt soils earlier than granite soils, and granite soils before sedimentary soils (Wheatley and Collett 1981). "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. 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. Chem Biodivers. 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. It persists in the soil for 1-4 weeks. They are left ungrazed until the pasture has reached a height of 10-15 cm (about 6 to 10 weeks). Cauline leaves are tomentose on the underside and contain spines on the . Please enable it to take advantage of the complete set of features! Note: This information is based on publications available through Tropicos and may not represent the entire distribution. The growth of C. pycnocephalus is favored more by the addition of nitrogen than by phosphorus or potassium. This site needs JavaScript to work properly. The labels also give more precise information on mixing and safety precautions. (Goeden and Ricker 1978). Utilizing double quotes for exact terms can narrow your search results. 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. Drought favors a rapid increase in the thistle population. University of California Press, Berkeley. "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. 1959. It was imported into California in 1969 for the biological control of milk thistle (Silybum marianum Gaertn.) Olympia WA 98504, P.O Box 42560 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). 1971, Baloch and Kahn 1973, Goeden 1974). The necessity for constant monitoring is all the more important given this weed's potentially long seed dormancy period (to 8 years). Ethiopian traditional medi- . 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. Picloram kills half the test animals (LD50) at 8000 mg/kg body weight and is considered to be of "relatively no hazard." hC:2r)#OH93 0@cxC1!8,j`Ma# 2pXC3,F7h@6KA #;KqAS$ alA0@7-: 1*KP;Kj/Q2cH#65SLK1IH8-:DL`@U`AWVeV .4-.6 in (1-1.4cm) long, and the fruits are brown to gold, with a bristly, minutely barbed pappus. 1979). A common name search of Northwestern Sedge matches 'Northwestern Sedge' and 'Northwestern Showy Sedge'. Genus Carduus which belongs to the family Astraceae includes approximately 100 species worldwide ( Chaudhary, 2000) and is widely distributed around the Mediterranean. 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 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. Similarly, plants which are cut close to flowering time can produce seed on the cut portion. Bethesda, MD 20894, Web Policies C. pycnocephalus can germinate at a variety of soil depths. Bendall (1974) found that 85% of Carduus pycnocephalus seeds produce germination inhibitors, but they are readily leached. 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). Where a presentation is not available, find more information by reading the abstract in the Cal-IPC Symposia Archive. The search for its natural enemies has included Italy, Greece, Iran, and Pakistan, as well as southern California (Baloch et al. Unable to load your collection due to an error, Unable to load your delegates due to an error. 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. pycnocephalus (L.) DC., 1838 Homonyms Carduus pycnocephalus L. Carduus pycnocephalus Spreng. 1980). APPLYING HERBICIDES: Herbicides can be applied uniformly over an area (for large infestations) or by spot spraying only the individual plants. 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).

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. Gayana, Bot. Since it is a nonselective herbicide, it must be carefully applied. densiflora (Viv.) Hand pulling, cultivation, and grazing are all effective control measures. 3152 Paradise Drive, Room 101, Tiburon, CA 94920. Carduus pycnocephalus originated in western and southern Europe but today is widespread throughout temperate parts of the world. L.Photo by G. Piper.

Carduus pycnocephalus is an annual herb that is not native to California. Naturalized as a weed. g -pWQ /PzD`,|c4*#?x`(56A} Qf - pycnocephalus) and the plants in question, Gaskin et al. Bendall (1974) found that 85% of Carduus pycnocephalus seeds produce germination inhibitors, but they are readily leached. Dr. McHenry recommends using a flat-fan nozzle (Spraying Systems Co. #8003 or 8004 nozzle tip) rather than the cone nozzles available on most garden sprayers. 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. Nyman, Carduus pycnocephalus L., Carduus cephalanthus Viv.) and transmitted securely. Former preserve manager Greg Wolley (1986) has used both hand pulling and cutting to destroy the plants at Ring Mountain Preserve, CA. 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.

N5D#uD0qBsOb^g Carduus pycnocephalus Common Names: Italian thistle Evaluated on: 5/22/04 List committee review date: 08/07/2005 Re-evaluation date: Evaluator (s) John J. Knapp/ Invasive Plant Program Manager Catalina Island Conservancy P.O. It is widely distributed in disturbed open sites, roadsides, pastures, annual grasslands, and waste areas across much of California. It is native to: the Mediterranean region in southern Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia; East Europe and the Caucasus; and the Indian Subcontinent.[2]. Slenderflower thistle, Carduus tenuiflorus, is similar but it generally has more flowerheads (5-20), than Italian thistle, Carduus pycnocephalus (1-5 flowerheads). 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. 2022 Mar;19(3):e202100827. J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci. C. pycnocephalus seeds are mucilaginous, unlike most other thistles. /Length 9 0 R Please refer to the PNW Weed Management Handbook, or contact your county noxious weed coordinator. Grubbing hoes must cut the plants 2 to 4 inches below ground level to prevent resprouting from dormant axillary buds. It is most effective when applied in February or March at 1/8 to 1/16 lb acid equivalent per acre. Anonymous. C. pycnocephalus seeds exhibit polymorphism, with brown seeds that have less mucilage and germinate at lower temperatures than silver seeds. Communities: weed, characteristic of disturbed places, Search efloras.org (Flora of North America). were analyzed and characterized by HPLC-PDA-MS/MS and PCR-RFLP of the nrDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS). It is prohibited to transport, buy, sell, offer for sale, or distribute plants or plant parts of quarantined species into or within the state of Washington or to sell, offer for sale, or distribute seed packets of seed, flower seed blends, or wildflower mixes of quarantined species into or within the state of Washington. The essential oil of the air dried aerial parts of Carduus pycnocephalus L. F. Asteraceae was prepared by hydrodistillation. /Filter /LZWDecode Serv., U.S.D.A. The use of herbicides to control C. pycnocephalus may not be appropriate on natural areas such as Nature Conservancy preserves. 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). Clipboard, Search History, and several other advanced features are temporarily unavailable. 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). 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. However, caution must be exercised when using these products, and their use is not always appropriate, especially near water surfaces and other sensitive natural habitats. Please click here to see a county level distribution map of Italian thistle in Washington. It is widely distributed in disturbed open sites, roadsides, pastures, annual grasslands, and waste areas across much of California. The mucilage is abundant and adhesive enough to aid in seed dispersal (Evans et al. Would you like email updates of new search results? Its spiny leaves, stems, and phyllaries prevent animals from grazing on it and nearby forage. Presentations are linked where available. 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. Due to the similarities of the two species, there may be more Turkish thistle near to where it has already been found that was misidentified as Italian thistle (Porter >> subsp. 1998). For this method to be successful, the autumn grazing break is necessary so that vigorous growth of other plants is allowed to occur, forcing the thistles to grow tall and tender. Cauline leaves are tomentose on the underside and contain spines on the lobe tips. The primary threat of this weed is its ability to dominate sites throughout California. Mapping weeds and rare plants to inform management and conservation in the Zaca and Jesusita fires. . Carduus pycnocephalus, with common names including Italian thistle, Italian plumeless thistle, and Plymouth thistle,[1] is a species of thistle.

Flickr photos above were identified by the individual photographers but not reviewed by EoPS. Carduus pycnocephalus, with common names including Italian thistle, Italian plumeless thistle, and Plymouth thistle, is a species of thistle. To control by cutting, use a sharpened shovel at the top of the root crown. 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. Picloram (Tordon): Dr. Jim McHenry (1985) of the University of California, Davis, recommends picloram to control C. pycnocephalus on Nature Conservancy lands. Although other thistle species present greater problems on these preserves, C. pycnocephalus control has been included as an adjunct to other control efforts. List-Based Rec., Soil Conserv. % arduus pycnocephalus L. Photo by A. Brousseau. pycnocephalus Carduus tenuiflorus var. 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). 1971, Baloch and Kahn 1973, Goeden 1974). %PDF-1.6 % Stewardship Overview: Carduus pycnocephalus, a vigorous annual thistle, arrived in California during the 1930s and has since become a serious weed problem. It is a host species for the introduced weevil, Rhinocilus conicus, which also attacks native thistles. 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. Carduus pycnocephalus was one of the first weeds selected for biological control study by the USDA (Schroeder 1980). On soils of naturally high fertility, thistle invasion can be expected at an earlier stage than on poorer soils. High pH (6.5) also favors growth (Bendall 1975). (415) 435-6465. 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. Biological control agents, particularly the weevil Rhinocyllus conicus and the rust Puccinia Carduii-pycnocephali, show considerable promise in controlling C. pycnocephalus. 1985. 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 . 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. Its inability to reproduce vegetatively makes control easier, but constant monitoring will be necessary due to its potentially long seed dormancy (to 8 years).
