| Abstract | Common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia) (Asteraceae) is an annual plant, introduced from North America to Europe over 100 years ago, and is now widespread in numerous countries (Dechamp & Meon, 2002). Problems with this invader are varied. It is considered a weed of spring crops such as sunflower, but also invades a wide range of non-crop areas, such as open disturbed (ruderal) habitats or river banks (Basset & Crompton, 1975). Moreover, this plant causes problems for human health, as it produces an abundance of allergenic pollen (Laaidi et al., 2003). In North America, common ragweed is the first cause of hay fever (Basset & Crompton, 1975). |
