“…By comparison, a statistically significant increase in MDA accumulation was recorded in the tested weeds: common lambsquarters, cockspur grass, and Johnson grass. This means that the THS provoked stress in these plants and strongly affected the lipid peroxidation [48].…”

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the hydrolates obtained as the by-products of the Thymus vulgaris essential oil steam distillation process. The bioassays, which were undertaken in order to determine the effect on germination and initial growth of seedlings of some cultivated and weed species, were performed under controlled conditions with different concentrations of the hydrolates. Seeds of Glycine max, Helianthus annuus, Zea mays, Triticum aestivum, Daucus carota subsp. sativus, Allium cepa, Medicago sativa, and Trifolium repens, and six weed species—Amaranthus retroflexus, Chenopodium album, Portulaca oleracea, Echinochloa crus-galli, Sorghum halepense, and Solanum nigrum—were treated with 10, 20, 50, and 100% T. vulgaris hydrolate solution. The obtained results showed that the T. vulgaris hydrolate had the least negative effect on the germination of cultivated species, such as soybean, sunflower and maize, whereas clover and alfalfa were the most sensitive. By comparison, all the tested weed species expressed high susceptibility. It can be concluded that the T. vulgaris hydrolate has an herbicidal effect, in addition to its potential as a biopesticide in terms of integrated weed management.

“…Especially, the sesquiterpene germacrene D and the sesquiterpene lactone isabelin were able to inhibit soil-borne bacteria and even human pathogenes [24,28,35,54]. In addition, it was shown that allelochemicals, such as α/β-pinene, can induce alterations in the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), which plays a major role in the infection process and the subsequent bacterial differentiation into the symbiotic form [23,55,56]. In this context, also, β-caryophyllene may have an impact on the nodulation process.…”

“…Management options to effectively contain the spread of the plant are limited due to its plasticity, its highly adaptive behavior in terms of growing conditions, and its tolerance against herbicides and mechanical damage [11,[19][20][21]. Different studies on the allelopathic effects of common ragweed revealed that this plant species produces and releases several types of secondary metabolites, including the sesquiterpene ambrosic acid, phenols, thiarubrines, and thiopenes [22][23][24]. Most of these compounds have a broad spectrum of biological activities, and therefore have the potential to inhibit germination and growth of other plants and microorganisms [24][25][26].…”

Following the novel weapon hypothesis, the invasiveness of non-native species, such as common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.) can result from a loss of natural competitors due to the production of chemical compounds, which negatively affect native communities. Particularly the genus Ambrosia produces several types of organic compounds, which have the potential to inhibit germination and growth of other plants. Subsequent to an assessment of the chemical content of three different ragweed extracts (aqueous shoot and root extracts, as well as essential oil), two different trials on the effects of different concentrations of these extracts, as well as ragweed residues, were conducted on two different mediums (Petri dish vs. soil). In addition, we investigated the impact on the infection potential of Bradyrhizobium japonicum on soybean roots in three different soil types (arable soil, potting soil, and sand). The results showed that the exposure to common ragweed extracts and residues induced changes in the biomass and root production of crops and ragweed itself. Even though crops and ragweed differed in their response behavior, the strongest negative impact on all crops and ragweed was observed with ragweed residues, leading to reductions in biomass and root growth of up to 90%. Furthermore, we found a decrease in the number of rhizobial nodules of up to 48% when soybean was exposed to ragweed root extract.

“…Many of them, for example, the Ambrosia genus, also pose a danger to human health, causing allergic reactions as well as skin and respiratory tract irritation. In addition, invasive weeds can rapidly colonize agricultural and urban lands, inhibit the growth of valuable agricultural crops (allelopathic effect), and reduce the harvest [4][5][6]. Thus, the problem of spreading these plants entails serious economic and social consequences.…”

A Noxious Weed Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. (Ragweed) as Sustainable Feedstock for Methane Production and Metals Immobilization

Plants of the Ambrosia genus are invasive and cause many ecological problems, including the oppression of the growth of agricultural crops and native plants, land depletion, and the production of strong allergens. The use of weeds as a sustainable feedstock for biogas production, either methane or hydrogen, is a promising way to fulfill the energy needs of the current generation, eliminate the depletion of non-renewable carbon resources, and preserve the ecosystem degradation caused by invasive species impacts. A diversified microbial community was used as inoculum and Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. biomass as a substrate for anaerobic degradation and methane production. In this regard, the development of biotechnological approaches to ragweed degradation will promote the integration of new renewable energy systems. Herein, we have shown the high effectiveness of combining the processes of anaerobic degradation of plant biomass for methane production and detoxification of meal-containing model sewage by a diversified microbial community. Thus, the maximum methane yield was 56.0 L kg−1 TS. The presence of 500 mg L−1 Cu(II) slightly inhibited methane synthesis, and the methane yield was 38.4 L kg−1 TS. In contrast to a diversified microbial community, the natural microbiome of ragweed almost did not synthesize methane and did not degrade plant biomass (Kd = 2.3). Methanogens effectively immobilized Cr(IV), Cu(II), and Fe(III) during ragweed fermentation at initial concentrations of 100–200 mg L−1. The obtained results showed the high effectiveness of applying a diversified microbial community in a sewage treatment plant for the degradation of a noxious plant, Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.
