Changes in nutrient content of Cirsium arvense (L.) Scop. during the vegetation period.
Cirsium arvense /L/ Scop. nowadays is popular in all territory of Hungary, it can be found almost on every soil types. Cirsium arvense is one of the most difficulty eradicated weed of the fields, the ruderals, and also the roadsides. On the base of IV. Hungarian Weed Survey 1996-1997, it takes the fifth place in the dominance sequence of the weeds, with 1.8% average covering. In the interest of effective weed control we can know the biological characteristics of the weeds in detail. In our experiments we followed the nutrient uptake and its changing in Cirsium arvense plants. Nitrogen concentration of shoots altered between 1.5-3.6%. We established that plants can uptake potassium in a great quantity. Roots and shoots contained potassium in high concentration between 2.2-5.9%. The maximum of shoot production from the adventitious buds of the roots was in October and the minimum was in April and May.
