However, he cautions that discarded inflorescences should not be thrown anywhere, only to compost plants or green waste sites, so as not to spread seeds.
The list of invasive species in Lithuania currently includes three flagellum species: the Canadian flagellum, the tall flagellum, and the large (late) flagellum. They begin to bloom in mid-summer and end in fall. They all originate in North America and, as exotic plants, are widespread in Europe, growing in Asia and other continents.
It is not known exactly when putas began to be cultivated as ornamental plants in Lithuania. For example, the high scourge reached us in 1983, according to official data. In Europe, these plants became widespread in vegetation in the 19th century. Since then, whores have planted in meadows, soils, deserts, roadsides, shores of bodies of water, and other open habitats.
Now, all invasive species of the pest grow over almost the entire territory of Lithuania, and especially large meadows are formed around cities, settlements and abandoned lands. Perennials that form dense spells are unnecessary, grow in poor soils, withstand droughts and frosts. Large whores grow extremely large rhizomes, forming dense grasslands.
According to naturalists, there is no place for native plant species, especially herbaceous ones, their natural communities are disappearing, the composition of animal species is changing and declining, and the entire ecosystem is changing. Also, they take much more nutrients from the soil than native plants, resulting in their acidification and some other plants become poor or no longer grow at all.
Spirals reproduce by seeds that carry wind and underground rhizomes. It has been established that a Canadian whip shot can mature between 10 and 20 thousand. seeds. When large areas of scourge bloom, large amounts of pollen are released into the environment, which can cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
Attempts are also being made in Lithuania to cultivate new species of this invasive plant and create varieties. However, according to the Botanical Institute of the Center for Natural Research, all species and varieties of whips (except the native ones, the common whip) can spread in the natural environment and pose a threat to our biodiversity.
If it has sprouted spontaneously, environmentalists recommend digging individual plants, destroying them with chemical means, and cutting the grasslands before flowering. Often, without thinking about the scourge, we distribute it ourselves, throwing the harvested inflorescences in the trash, into the forest, where new plants grow from the seeds. Disposal must be composted, transported to green landfills, or incinerated.
We remind you that fines of 200 to 400 euros are foreseen for the cultivation, propagation and exchange of invasive species, and 300 to 600 euros for the managers of legal entities or other responsible persons. The placing on the market or the deliberate release of invasive species into the environment is subject to fines of 300-500 euros, heads of legal persons and other responsible persons: 800-1500 euros.
