Influence of Deformation of Circadian Rhythms on Changes in Ontogenesis of Heracleum sosnowskyi Manden Plants

The urgency of the problem of biodiversity conservation has grown significantly at present. In addition to the increasing anthropogenic impact on natural ecosystems, there is also a threat of changes in biocenoses due to the spread of invasive plant and animal species. The human factor also plays a significant role in this process. For example, the species Heracleum sosnowskyi Manden was used as an agricultural crop in the last century. Unfortunately, the specific properties of the plant made people refuse to use it as such. All varieties obtained by breeders were excluded from the State Register. However, the plasticity and biological aggressiveness of the species allowed it to successfully occupy an ecological niche in various biogeocenoses. Since the plant poses a real danger to human health, an intensive search is underway for ways to combat this poisonous invasive weed. The authors have developed a unique method of controlling plants Heracleum sosnowskyi M., effective and safe for humans and the environment.
