“…No significant differences were found in the chemical composition of the examined seed samples of Heracleum sosnowskyi and Heracleum mantegazzianum (Apiaceae), which confirms the suggestions that the species can be closely related [7]. The study useful for comparison of our results tested allopathic effect of EO isolated from H. sosnowskyi seeds on two dicots and four monocot species [24]. Different susceptibilities to H. sosnowskyi EO was evaluated in seeds germination as well as in radical length.…”

“…Dominated components in EO identified in giant hogweed from Russia were octyl butyrate (32.0%), octyl acetate (18.0%) and hexyl butyrate (9.2%) [23]. Similar composition of seed EO as in H. mantegazzianum was noted in H. sosnowskyi [24]. Chemical composition of H. mategazzianum as well as H. sosnowskyi seed EOs that contained mainly octanol and hexanol esters of acetic acid, butyric and isobutyric acids differ from most of the evaluated EOs, in which terpenes dominate.…”

Spreading of the plant species in new areas is supported by the hypothesis in which chemicals produced by alien species are allopathic to native plants. A novel weapon hypothesis was tested by using essential oil of dangerous alien species Heracleum mantegazzianum in laboratory conditions. Aboveground plant material was collected in south-east part of Slovakia, dried and hydrodistilled for essential oil isolation. Dominant compounds as octyl acetate (62.6%), hexyl 2-metylbutyrate (10.7%), hexyl isobutyrate (7.5%) and hexyl butyrate (6.5%) were identified by GC-MS. Potential phytotoxic activity was tested on three dicot plant species garden cress (Lepidium sativum L.), radish (Raphanus sativus L.) and lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) and on one monocot plant species wheat Triticum aestivum L. Germination of the seeds of model plant species after influencing by different doses of essential oil of H. mantegazzianum as well as the roots length was evaluated. Lepidium sativum L. and Raphanus sativus L. were generally not sensitive to applied doses of essential oil although a little stimulation effect at some concentrations prevailed over inhibition effect. Similarly, in monocot species Triticum aestivum L., stimulation was visible in both root length and root number at two or one highest doses, respectively.

“…The plant has great potential in the pharmaceutical industry [13], [16]- [18], [21], [23]. One research is available on the material from the hogweed [13], but there is a potential for use in agriculture as a fertilizer [38] and antifungal agent [13], [20], [22], [38]. All parts of H. sosnowskyi plant can be used to produce products.…”

Multicriteria analysis methodology used in the paper allows to evaluate the use of potential bioresources with high added value by prioritizing products from invasive species. The method is applied for the hogweed Heracleum sosnowskyi Manden, which occupies large areas in Latvia and poses great problems in using agricultural land. It is combated purposefully, generating significant amount of biomass waste. The results of TOPSIS multicriteria analysis used with 14 indicators, show that hogweed can be used for production of different pharmaceutical, food, soil fertilizer and chemical materials with a high added value. Pharmaceutical products have the highest potential for production of polysaccharides that can be used in food and pharmaceutical industries.

“…The chemical compounds found in invasive plants, including Sosnowskyi’s hogweed ( H. sosnowskyi ), are harmful to human health, affect soil and alter the overall ecosystem of the area. H. sosnowskyi are rich in essential oils that contain mostly aliphatic esters, with the organic compound octal acetate or octyl ethanoate (molecular formula C 10 H 20 O 2 ) as the main constituent [ 20 ]. The substances present in these essential oils have strong, biologically active potential [ 20 ].…”

The substances present in these essential oils have strong, biologically active potential [ 20 ]. Although throughout Europe’s history, people have believed that the primary hazardous components of hogweeds were various coumarins (a vanilla-scented compound) [ 21 , 22 , 23 ], an article by Jakubska-Busse et al (2013) investigated H. sosnowskyi and Heracleum mantegazzianum and showed that they contain many additional toxic components.…”

Covariate Model of Pixel Vector Intensities of Invasive H. sosnowskyi Plants

This article describes an agricultural application of remote sensing methods. The idea is to aid in eradicating an invasive plant called Sosnowskyi borscht (H. sosnowskyi). These plants contain strong allergens and can induce burning skin pain, and may displace native plant species by overshadowing them, meaning that even solitary individuals must be controlled or destroyed in order to prevent damage to unused rural land and other neighbouring land of various types (mostly violated forest or housing areas). We describe several methods for detecting H. sosnowskyi plants from Sentinel-2A images, and verify our results. The workflow is based on recently improved technologies, which are used to pinpoint exact locations (small areas) of plants, allowing them to be found more efficiently than by visual inspection on foot or by car. The results are in the form of images that can be classified by several methods, and estimates of the cross-covariance or single-vector auto-covariance functions of the contaminant parameters are calculated from random functions composed of plant pixel vector data arrays. The correlation of the pixel vectors for H. sosnowskyi images depends on the density of the chlorophyll content in the plants. Estimates of the covariance functions were computed by varying the quantisation interval on a certain time scale and using a computer programme based on MATLAB. The correlation between the pixels of the H. sosnowskyi plants and other plants was found, possibly because their structures have sufficiently unique spectral signatures (pixel values) in raster images. H. sosnowskyi can be identified and confirmed using a combination of two classification methods (using supervised and unsupervised approaches). The reliability of this combined method was verified by applying the theory of covariance function, and the results showed that H. sosnowskyi plants had a higher correlation coefficient. This can be used to improve the results in order to get rid of plants in particular areas. Further experiments will be carried out to confirm these results based on in situ fieldwork, and to calculate the efficiency of our method.
