Objectives
- Improve knowledge about the biology of common ragweed, and identify those parts of its life cyle that are most sensitive for control
- Understand the history and modes of spread of common ragweed, and actual degree of infestation throughout European countries
- Evaluate the levels of adaptation enabling common ragweed to increase its invasive range
- Optimization of non-chemical control like adaptive cutting regimes and seeding competitors
Expected deliverables
- Recommendations for optimal cutting regimes in habitat types where other measures cannot be applied
- Propose seed mixtures that work well at the regional level in outcompeting ragweed
- Develop a concept for monitoring common ragweed populations in Europe
