  • Variation in Susceptibility of Giant Buttercup (Ranunculus Acris L. Subsp. Acris) Populations to Herbicides

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. i Variation in susceptibility of giant buttercup (Ranunculus acris L. subsp. acris) populations to herbicides A thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of AgriScience In Agriculture at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand. Carolyn Sarah Lusk 2012 ii ABSTRACT Giant buttercup (Ranunculus acris L.) is a serious weed of dairy pastures throughout New Zealand causing substantial economic losses from lost pasture productivity. It has developed resistance to the phenoxy herbicides (MCPA and MCPB) at many sites around New Zealand, particularly in Golden Bay. Since the discovery of resistance in the 1980s, two newer herbicides from a different mode-of-action group (acetolactate synthase inhibitor, ALS), flumetsulam and thifensulfuron-methyl, have been used widely, which appeared to overcome the resistance problem. A survey of farmers in Golden Bay indicated that most have herbicide control programmes for giant buttercup based around flumetsulam but some have reported poor control with this herbicide, particularly after several years of use. The research in this thesis was undertaken to determine whether this may be due to evolved resistance. Seedling progeny from 15 populations of giant buttercup, with known spraying history, were sprayed with a range of doses of flumetsulam, thifensulfuron-methyl and MCPA (Experiment 1) to test for differences in susceptibility. The experiment revealed a large difference in susceptibility between the populations (83-100% and 58-100% mortality at the recommended rate and 2.2 times that rate of flumetsulam applied, respectively).

  • The Ranunculus Acris L. Complex in Europe S
    Watsonia, 8, 237-261 (1971). 237 The Ranunculus acris L. complex in Europe s. M. COLES Department ofBotany, Birmingham University ABSTRACT The geographical variation of the Ranunculus acris L. complex within Europe has been exam­ ined. The following taxa are recognised in this present work: Ranunculus granatensis Boiss. R. strigulosus Schur R. acris L. sensu stricto subsp. acris var. acris var. ,,;llosus (Drabble) S. M. Coles, comb. et stat. novo var. pumilus Wahlenb. subsp. borealis (Trautv.) Nyman subsp.friesanus (Jord.) Rouy & Fouc. var.friesanus var.pyrenaeus S. M. Coles, var. novo R. granatensis and R. strigulosus have a restricted distribution and are relatively uniform in appearance. R. acris sensu stricto occurs over most of Europe and is a very variable plant. The main clinal variation in R. acris is in an east-west direction. R. acris subsp. friesanus forms no part of this variational pattern although its distribution is completely overlapped by that of subsp. acris. INTRODUCTION The plants investigated in this study are those included in Ranunculus acris L. as defined by Tutin (1964). R. acris L. sensu stricto in the present study excludes R. acris subsp. granatensis (Boiss.) Nyman and subsp. strigulosus (Schur) Hyl., which are given specific status. The R. acris complex belongs to the section Ranunculus of the subgenus Ranunculus. It can be separated from most other European species of this section by having a terete pedicel, patent sepals and a glabrous receptacle. The diploid chromosome number of R. acris L. sensu stricto is 14; within the genus a basic chromosome number of 8 is more common than one of 7.

Die Ranunculaceae umfassen rund 60 Gattungen mit insgesamt etwa 2500 Arten und werden derzeit in 5 Unterfamilien eingeteilt: 1. Glaucidioideae (z. B. Glaucidium, Scheinhahnenfuß), 2. Hydrastidoideae (z. B. Hydrastis, Gelbwurz), 3. Coptoideae (z. B. Coptis, Gold- faden), 4. Thalictroideae (z. B. Thalictrum, Wiesenraute) und 5. Ranunculoideae (z. B. Ranunculus, Hahnenfuß).

  • Comparison Charts for the Ranunculaceae Key © Susan J. Meades, Flora of Newfoundland and Labrador (2019)
    Comparison Charts for the Ranunculaceae Key © Susan J. Meades, Flora of Newfoundland and Labrador (2019) Plants in the Ranunculaceae (Buttercup Family) usually have numerous stamens and numerous pistils with a superior ovary; only those species with fewer parts are noted in the comparison charts. Leaf measurements refer to the size range of larger, mature leaves. Important differentiating traits for each species are presented in bold text. In some buttercup species (e.g., Ranunculus acris, R. repens), garden cultivars have been developed that have numerous petals, rather than the typical 5 petals; these may be found as occasional garden escapes, but are not taxonomically distinct or significant.

N Almost all genera have narcotic properties, some of them being ‘highly prejudicial to animal life’. These properties are lessened by boiling heat or by drying, or heightened by spirits & sugar. Fruits are achenes, berries, or follicles. The BUTTERCUP family has many species with hydrophilic, or recalcitrant, seeds. Care must be taken in their proper use in restoration. The follicles of some species resemble medieval jester hats. Some Saxifragaceae produce similar fruits, ie the garden Peonie. why do you build me up (build me up) buttercup baby? just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around? and then worst of all (worst of all) you never call baby like you say you will (say you will) but I love you still I need you (I need you) more than anyone darlin you know that I have from the start so build me up (build me up) buttercup don’t break my heart Mike D’Abo & Tony Macaulay 1968 Folliculi, a typical fruit type in Ranunculaceae, on Aquilegia ACONITUM Linnaeus 1753 MONKSHOOD, ACONITE, WOLF-BANE Ranunculaceae Aconitum from the Latin name, aconitum, the Monk's Hood, a poisonous plant, from ancient Greek ακονιτον, akoniton, loosely translated as unconquerable poison or according to Pliny, the name aconite is from the Black Sea port of Aconis.

Agency Contact: Plant Epidemiology and Risk Analysis Laboratory Center for Plant Health Science and Technology Plant Protection and Quarantine Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service United States Department of Agriculture 1730 Varsity Drive, Suite 300 Raleigh, NC 27606 Weed Risk Assessment for Ficaria verna Huds Introduction Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ) regulates noxious weeds under the authority of the Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. § 7701-7786, 2000) and the Federal Seed Act (7 U.S.C. § 1581-1610, 1939). A noxious weed is defined as “any plant or plant product that can directly or indirectly injure or cause damage to crops (including nursery stock or plant products), livestock, poultry, or other interests of agriculture, irrigation, navigation, the natural resources of the United States, the public health, or the environment” (7 U.S.C. § 7701-7786, 2000). We use the PPQ weed risk assessment (WRA) process (PPQ, 2015) to evaluate the risk potential of plants, including those newly detected in the United States, those proposed for import, and those emerging as weeds elsewhere in the world. The PPQ WRA process includes three analytical components that together describe the risk profile of a plant species (risk potential, uncertainty, and geographic potential; PPQ, 2015).
