Publication Biological mechanisms of invasiveness of Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. and innovative control approaches(2025-12-03) Оніпко, Валентина Володимирівна; Onipko, V. V.; Поспєлов, Сергій Вікторович; Pospelov, S. V.; Поспєлова, Ганна Дмитрівна; Pospielova, G. D.; Pospelova, H; Коваленко, Нінель Павлівна; Kovalenko, N. P.The purpose of the review was to summarize current scientific approaches to studying the biological mechanisms of invasiveness of Ambrosia artemisiifolia L., to identify ecological and agroeconomic risks associated with its spread, and to analyze innovative strategies for controlling this dangerous weed. Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. is one of the most aggressive invasive species of the Asteraceae family, posing a significant threat to agroecosystems, natural biodiversity, and human health. Its spread under conditions of trade globalization and climate change has reached a large scale, emphasizing the need for interdisciplinary research on the bioecological characteristics of this species and the development of comprehensive control strategies. The high invasive potential of A. artemisiifolia is determined by a complex of adaptive traits: rapid initial growth, tolerance to various soil types and climatic conditions, a powerful root system, cross-pollination, and pronounced seed heteromorphism. These features ensure the formation of persistent soil “seed banks” that support long-term population recovery even after mechanical or agronomic interventions. In addition, the considerable genetic variability of the species promotes local adaptation to changing climatic and anthropogenic factors, complicating control efforts across regions. It was emphasized that the expansion of ragweed in Europe and Asia leads to reduced crop yields, displacement of native species, and ecosystem degradation. Losses in the agricultural sector are associated with both direct decreases in the productivity of maize, sunflower, soybean, and other crops, and with increasing costs of herbicide application. However, chemical control is complicated by the development of resistance to major groups of herbicides. This underlines the relevance of integrated weed management approaches, that combine agronomic practices (crop rotation, optimization of sowing density, cultivation of competitive crops), biological control (entomophages, phytopathogens, microbial preparations), chemical methods, and environmentally safe technologies. A promising direction is the use of modern geographic information systems, remote sensing methods, and mathematical modeling to monitor the spread of A. artemisiifolia and predict its invasion dynamics under climate change. Such an approach makes it possible to identify priority control areas and effectively allocate resources. Further research should focus on improving adaptive integrated management systems for ragweed populations, assessing the long-term consequences of its invasion for biodiversity and human health, and developing ecologically oriented models of sustainable land use.Publication Comparative characteristics of morphometric indicators of quarantine species of the genus Cuscuta (Cuscuta L.) growing in Ukraine(2025-12-08) Коваленко, Нінель Павлівна; Kovalenko, N. P.; Поспєлова, Ганна Дмитрівна; Pospielova, G. D.; Самородов, Віктор Миколайович; Samorodov, V. M.; Поспєлов, Сергій Вікторович; Pospelov, S. V.; Pospielov, S.; Оніпко, Валентина Володимирівна; Onipko, V. V.A review is devoted to the comparative characteristics of the morphometric and biological features of doddlers in Ukraine based on a scientific source base. The systematic position of the common quarantine parasitic plants of the genus Cuscuta L. (dodder), commonly found in Ukraine, is presented. A morphometric analysis of 15 species is provided, highlighting differences in stem diameter, length, and color, features of the flower structure, types of inflorescences, and fruit shape. The literature data indicate a high degree of similarity among Cuscuta species prevalent in our country, which significantly complicates their identification in natural environments and agrocenoses, and is insufficient for clear and, more importantly, unmistakable identification by professionals in applied branches of the agricultural industry. Knowledge of the biological characteristics of Cuscuta species is important for understanding their spread and high naturalization potential. Currently, this information is quite fragmented and insufficiently studied. Information is presented regarding the most studied species, namely: C. campestris Yunck., C. trifolii Bab., C. europaea L., C. epilinum Weihe, C. Lemanniana Bge., C. lupuliformis Krock. and C. epithymym L. An important factor in the formation of the infectious background in agrocenoses and natural environments is the seed viability period. It has been established that the longest period of preservation of its viability is observed in C. trifolii Bab. (10-12 years); up to 6 years in C. campestris Yunck, C. europaea L., and C. Lemanniana Bge. The shortest viability period is up to one year (in the soil) in C. epilinum Weihe. However, there are reports about the possibility of preserving seed viability for up to 25–30 years under conditions unfavorable for its germination. In our opinion, this is due to such a phenomenon as "hardseededness". The formation of the seed bank in the soil is also influenced by the fertility of the species. Among the Cuscuta species growing in Ukraine, this indicator has been established only for seven species: C. campestris Yunck., C. trifolii Bab., C. europaea L., C epilinum Weihe, C. Lemanniana Bge., C. lupuliformis Krock., and C. epithymym L. The largest number of seeds per plant is produced by C. Lemanniana Bge. (up to 100.000) and C. campestris Yunck. (up to 114.000). The period of emergence of seedlings has been found to be March-May. It depends on the soil temperature and the depth of seed placement. It has been determined that at a soil temperature of 16–25 ⁰С, mass seed germination occurs in May-June. The flowering period is extended and lasts from June to August.
