Field Bindweed Convolvulus Arvensis Field bindweed Other common names: Morning glory, lesser USDA symbol: COAR4 Convolvulus arvensis bindweed, withy wind, possession vine, creeping jenny ODA rating: B and T Introduction: Distributed widely in North America, it was most likely introduced as a contaminant in grains and crop seed. This deep-rooted perennial causes significant economic harm in cereal crops, orchards, in vegetable production and mint. Organic agriculture is very difficult in infested fields. Tillage increases plant densities within a field and herbicidal control is challenging depending on the crop and herbicide selectivity. It is a common pest of yards and landscapes where control options are limited. Distribution in Oregon: It is widely distributed in Oregon inhabiting roadsides; grasslands grain fields and urban landscapes. It is a common feature in home gardens. Description: Field bindweed is a deep-rooted herbaceous perennial. Its stems are prostrate, one to four feet long often climbing fences and shrubs or forming dense tangled mats. Leaves are alternate, arrowhead-shaped with lobes at the base. Flowers are bell or trumpet shaped, white to pinkish and one inch in diameter. Its fruit is a small, round capsule, usually four-seeded. It looks and grows similar to the ornamental morning glory. Impacts: Considered a pest throughout the United States, bindweed is known for its ability to reduce crop yields. It competes with crops for moisture and nutrients, and is difficult to remove once established. The twining nature of the plant hampers harvesting of crops, especially in orchards and vineyards. Biological controls: Two approved biological control agents, a moth and a mite are established in Oregon.

    Appendix Color Plates of Solanales Species The first half of the color plates (Plates 1–8) shows a selection of phytochemically prominent solanaceous species, the second half (Plates 9–16) a selection of convol- vulaceous counterparts. The scientific name of the species in bold (for authorities see text and tables) may be followed (in brackets) by a frequently used though invalid synonym and/or a common name if existent. The next information refers to the habitus, origin/natural distribution, and – if applicable – cultivation. If more than one photograph is shown for a certain species there will be explanations for each of them. Finally, section numbers of the phytochemical Chapters 3–8 are given, where the respective species are discussed. The individually combined occurrence of sec- ondary metabolites from different structural classes characterizes every species. However, it has to be remembered that a small number of citations does not neces- sarily indicate a poorer secondary metabolism in a respective species compared with others; this may just be due to less studies being carried out.

  • Ecology and Management of Field Bindweed (Convolvulus Arvensis
    United States Department of Agriculture NATURAL RESOURCES CONSERVATION SERVICE Invasive Species Technical Note No. MT-9 February 2007 Ecology and Management of field bindweed [Convolvulus arvensis L.] by Jim Jacobs, NRCS Invasive Species Specialist, Bozeman, Montana Figure 1. Field bindweed forms mats of trailing, twining vines. Abstract Field bindweed is a persistent perennial weed in the Convolvulaceae taxonomic family found on cultivated fields, orchards, plantations, pastures, lawns, gardens, roadsides and along railways. It is listed as one of the ten most serious weed problems worldwide. Its extensive, competitive root system is capable of vegetative reproduction. This combined with long-lived seeds makes it difficult to manage. Dense tangled mats formed from the trailing vines, and vines climbing on crops, reduce crop yields and increase production costs. Over 500 seeds per plant can be produced from the funnel-shaped flowers. Field bindweed is native to the Mediterranean region and was first recorded in the United States in 1739. In Montana, it was first collected in 1891 from Missoula County near the University of Montana, and by 2001 it had been reported from all Montana Counties except Richland and Fallon (http://invader.dbs.umt.edu). Propagules of field bindweed migrate as contaminants of crop seed and hay, when attached to farming equipment, and they have been intentionally introduced as ornamental or medicinal plants. Once established, field bindweed will persist after most control applications. However, the leaves are not shade tolerant and competitive plants will suppress field bindweed and reduce its seed production. On croplands, frequent cultivations will reduce root reserves; however infestations can increase under no-till or reduced till management.

The first objective of this study was to determine a highly efficient and rapid regeneration system for C. galaticus. Secondly, field-grown and in vitro-grown plants were compared in terms of antioxidant activities and phenolic constituents. C. galaticus leaves and stems were surface sterilized and three different explants (leaf, stem and node) were cultured. Regeneration was observed only with node explants. Best shoot proliferation was observed with 0.5 mg/l TDZ and 1.0 mg/l IAA, producing 15 shoots per explant at 84 % frequency. In vitro regenerated plants were also used as donor plants for explant source and best shoot formation was observed with 1.0 mg/l TDZ and 0.5 mg/l IBA with node explant, producing 23.7 shoots per explant at 60 % frequency. Regenerated shoots were transferred to rooting media and 1.0 mg/l IBA was the most effective for rooting. In the second part of this study, methanolic extract of field-grown and in vitro-grown C.

  • Common Arable Weeds in Germany Support the Biodiversity of Arthropods and Birds
    Bachelorthesis Title: Common arable weeds in Germany support the biodiversity of arthropods and birds Submitted by: Naomi Sarah Bosch Submission date: 21.8.2020 Date of birth: 19.11.1997 Place of birth: Lauf a.d. Pegnitz Agrar- und Faculty of agricultural and Umweltwissenschaftliche Fakultät environmental sciences Studiengang Agrarwissenschaften Degree course Agricultural sciences Professur Phytomedizin Division Phytomedicine Betreuer / Supervisors: Prof. Dr. Bärbel Gerowitt Dr. Han Zhang The earth's vegetation is part of a web of life in which there are intimate and essential relations between plants and the earth, between plants and other plants, between plants and animals. Sometimes we have no choice but to disturb these relationships, but we should do so thoughtfully, with full awareness that we do may have consequences remote in time and place. - Rachel Carson, Silent Spring (1962) 2 Abstract Where have all the flowers gone? The intensification of agriculture, with its more efficient weed control methods, has led to significant changes in agroecosystems. Since 1950, the biodiversity of arable weeds in crops has sunk by more than 70%. At the same time, arthropods and birds have been in steep decline across all taxa in Germany and beyond. The global biodiversity loss is occurring at an alarming rate, but what is the role of arable weeds in supporting biodiversity? And how can the knowledge of the ecological value of arable weeds be integrated into practical farming? In this thesis, the 51 arable weed species and 3 weed genera that are most common in Germany were reviewed for their provision of food and shelter for the fauna.
