Abstract	The European Commission, Directorate-General Environment, is funding a new project on Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.: Complex research on methods to halt the Ambrosia invasion in Europe – HALT AMBROSIA. The project has started in spring 2011 and is executed by a consortium of German, Hungarian, Austrian, Slovenian, Danish and Swiss researchers. The overall aim of the project is to contribute to the reduction of the prevalence of Ambrosia in European countries in order to reduce the burden on public health, agriculture and biodiversity. This will consist of developing strategy elements for the reduction of A. artemisiifolia and its pollen in countries where the species is already established, e.g., Hungary, Slovenia, parts of Austria, and South-eastern Europe and for the prevention of further import and spread in countries not yet heavily infested, such as Germany, the Netherlands and Northern European countries. To this end the gaps in the existing information needed for understanding historical successes and failures of control and eradication activities will be analysed. Results of laboratory and field experiments will cover the germination biology and seed bank behaviour and the proportion of viable and germinable seeds produced by different populations or found in transported commodities, such as bird seed and soils. The impacts of chemical and non-chemical control measures on A. artemisiifolia and on adjacent plants will be investigated. Keywords: Alien plant, biodiversity, control strategies, herbicides, non chemical control, ragweed HALT Ambrosia - umfassendes europaisches Forschungsvorhaben zum invasiven Neophyten Beifus-Ambrosie ( Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. ) Die Europaische Kommission, Generaldirektorat Umwelt, fordert ein neues Projekt zu Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.: Complex research on methods to halt the Ambrosia invasion in Europe – HALT AMBROSIA. Das Projekt hat im Fruhjahr 2011 begonnen und wird von einem Konsortium aus deutschen, ungarischen, osterreichischen, slowenischen, danischen und schweizer Wissenschaftlern durchgefuhrt. Das Hauptziel des Projektes ist, das Vorkommen von A. artemisiifolia in den europaischen Landern zu reduzieren, um den Druck auf die Gesundheit der Bevolkerung, die Landwirtschaft und die Biodiversitat zu mindern. Dies beinhaltet die Entwicklung von Bekampfungsstrategien, um die Vorkommen von A. artemisiifolia und die Pollenbelastung in Landern mit etablierten Bestanden zu reduzieren (Ungarn, Slowenien, Teile von Osterreich und Sudost Europa) und die Ausbreitung und den weiteren Import von A. artemisiifolia in Landern mit geringem Besatz zu verhindern (Deutschland, Niederlande und die nordeuropaischen Lander). Zu diesem Zweck werden in Labor- und Feldversuchen die Keimungsbiologie und das Verhalten der Samenbank untersucht, wie z.B. die Lebensfahigkeit von Samen und das Verhaltnis von lebensfahigen und keimfahigen Samen von verschiedenen Herkunften. Dazu werden unterschiedliche Populationen oder transportierte Guter, wie Erde und Vogelfutter, beprobt. Zudem wird der Einfluss von chemischen und nicht chemischen Kontrollstrategien auf A. artemisiifolia und benachbarte Pflanzen erforscht.
