“…However, the presenting review emphasized the paradoxically small number of articles on the impact of Caucasian hogweeds on biodiversity. Their distribution on a global scale, including North America [4,5], the significant role of human density in their spread [6], the unpredictability of the invasion dispersal since its beginning [7], and rich chemical composition indicated that this is a big mistake. As plants that cause burns of mammals, including humans, alien hogweeds are especially recommended for removal, and the consequences are unknown.…”

Invasion of the Giant Hogweed and the Sosnowsky’s Hogweed as a Multidisciplinary Problem with Unknown Future—A Review

Caucasian hogweeds are plants introduced to Europe from the Caucasus area. This review concerns the two most common ones—the giant hogweed Heracleum mantegazzianum and the Sosnowsky’s hogweed Heracleum sosnowskyi. The first of them was imported as garden decorations from the 19th century, mainly to Western Europe, while the second one was introduced from the mid–20th century to agricultural areas in Eastern Europe. Nowadays, these two species create one of the most problematic invasions in the world. This review aimed to synthesize research on those invaders based on 277 articles selected from the “Scopus” database. Most of the articles concerned their extensive distribution, at least on a continental scale and the rapid dispersal. The reviewed research showed that the complex physicochemical properties of hogweeds tissues and secretions significantly affected insects, aphids, ants, nematodes, fungi, soil microorganisms, plant communities, birds, and many other components of the ecosystems. This knowledge turned out to be disproportionately small to the scale of the problem. The review also showed what ecological traits of hogweeds were responsible for their wide and various role in the environment. Thus far, no effective method to eradicate Caucasian hogweeds has been found. This could be a growing mistake, given that they are probably during the rapid evolutionary changes within the range of their invasion.

“…Cellulose, which was used as the main component of the aerogel, was isolated from the stems of Sosnowski hogweed, a weed plant with a huge biomass and a wide habitat. [42][43][44][45] The stems of hogweed Sosnovski were collected in the Moscow region. The collected stems were dried to constant weight at 60 C in an oven.…”

“…The absence of federal laws on the organization of this invasive plant control causes non-uniform Heracleum sosnowskyi Manden destroying [8]. Meanwhile, in Europe and North America this kind of activity slightly decreased [16,17]. Mainly, there is monitoring of its expansion through the aerial photography.…”

The article proposes the way to control aggressive invasive plant Heracleum sosnowskyi Manden. This method excludes contact of the plant dangerous sap with human skin, and based on injecting of 6% apple vinegar in optimal volumes into the stems of the plant before its fructification. Injection of apple vinegar into the hollow part of the stems causes complete necrosis of the aerial part of the plant within 48 hours. At the same time, aceylation is an exclusively selective process characteristic for Heracleum sosnowskyi Manden only. This reaction does not have the negative environmental effects observed when using glyphosate, imidazolinine, sulfonylurea, and other herbicides. The article confirms the exceptional selectivity of injections on Heracleum sosnowskyi Manden. According to the research, the injections of 6% apple vinegar do not affect on the hollow stems of Sónchus oleráceus. Indeed, the injections of water into the stems of both types of plants under study do not cause the death of their aerial parts. Moreover, the high-performance liquid chromatography of stems after injections with 6% apple vinegar shows an induced increase in the content of furanocoumarins in 48 hours as a response to an irritant dangerous to the plant. Moreover, the content of xanthotoxin increased by 1.7 times.
