EUROPEAN AND MEDITERRANEAN PLANT PROTECTION ORGANIZATION ЕВРОПЕЙСКАЯ И СРЕДИЗЕМНОМОРСКАЯ ОРГАНИЗАЦИЯ ПО КАРАНТИНУ И ЗАЩИТЕ РАСТЕНИЙ ORGANISATION EUROPEENNE ET MEDITERRANEENNE POUR LA PROTECTION DES PLANTES 02/9187 Point 7.8 Iva axillaris IDENTITY Name: Iva axillaris Pursh. Taxonomic position: Asteraceae Common name: Poverty weed, Poverty sumpweed (English); бузинник пазушный, ива многолетняя (Russian). Bayer code: IVAAX GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION North America: Canada, Mexico, USA. Oceania: Australia. ON WHICH CROPS All kinds of agricultural land may be infested by Iva axillaris, especially spring cereals, pastures, meadows, orchards and gardens, as well as uncultivated land. BIOLOGY Iva axillaris is a perennial weed. It reproduces mainly by its spreading rhizomes, but may also reproduce by seeds. The weed has a very well developed underground system, the main root going deep into the soil (more than 2 m). A mass of spreading rhizomes develops at a depth of 20-60 cm in the soil and produces above-ground shoots. In years of drought, deeply situated rhizomes grow up to the depth of 5-10 cm, then grow horizontally, developing several shoots and a new main root. This helps the weed to survive in dry conditions when all other plants die. Each year, new shoots appear late in spring, flowers appear in July, seeds in September. DETECTION AND IDENTIFICATION Iva axillaris grows 15-60 cm tall depending on conditions. The stem is upright, glabrous, with many branches. The leaves are opposite (except at the shoot tips), small (not more than 2.5 cm long), and silvery-grey because they are covered by whitish hairs. The flowers are small, greenish, in axillary heads 4-7 mm in diameter, on short pedicels. The inflorescence is surrounded by a toothed involucre. The outer flowers (1-6) of the head are female, with tubular corolla (sometimes absent) and a bifid style. The inner flowers (15-25) of the head are male, with tubular corolla, 5 stamens and a reduced sterile gynaecium. The seed is flattened, grey to almost black, ovate, up to 5 mm long, about 2 mm large and 1 mm thick. Each head usually produces 1 or 2 seeds. MEANS OF MOVEMENT AND DISPERSAL Iva axillaris seeds are carried with seeds of many crops harvested late in the season, and also with other plant products. 2 PATHWAYS Contaminated seeds and grain, fodder, soil and growing media, soil accompanying plants. Seeds of Iva axillaris have been detected many times in wheat grain imported into Russia from Canada and the USA. DAMAGE Iva axillaris is a perennial weed, reproducing by seeds and by rhizomes which strongly compete with crops for water and nutrients. It can seriously reduce the yield and quality of harvested crops, especially cereals. The plants are toxic for livestock, have a strong disagreeable smell and much reduce the quality of pastures. PHYTOSANITARY RISK Iva axillaris is an invasive weed, which continues to spread in areas where it has been introduced (it is classified as a noxious weed in Victoria, Australia). Its control is difficult. Its drought resistance is particularly significant. It could present a risk for the Mediterranean region and Central Europe. PHYTOSANITARY MEASURES The movement of agricultural seeds, grain, forage, fodder and other materials infested with seeds of Iva axillaris into pest-free areas should be restricted. Eradicative treatments with herbicides are possible. BIBLIOGRAPHY Best KF (1975) The biology of Canadian weeds. 10. Iva axillaris Pursh. Canadian Journal of Plant Science 55, 293–301.
