    Description

    Seedling

    Cotyledons oval with rounded apex, 5-6 x 3-4 mm, sessile, glabrous. Primordial leaves erect, lanceolate, divided or not into 3-5 lateral lobes, somewhat hairy. Subsequent leaves 3-5-pinnate, narrowly segmented and mucronate, pubescent. Seedling dark green.

    Adult plant

    Anacyclus clavatus is an annual, upright plant. Stem branched, up to 60 cm high, hairy. Leaves alternate, bipinnate with linear, mucronate segments; the basal ones are petiolate, more or less rosette-shaped; the stem ones sessile, auriculate. Infloescences in terminal heads about 3 cm (0.4 in.) across, florets tubular yellow, florets ligulate white, 6-12 mm (0.2-0.2 in.) long, sometimes partially or completely absent. Flower-pedoncle enlarged and hollow after flowering. Achenes without pappus, dorso-ventrally compressed, the outer ones winged, the central ones not winged.

                    Ecology

                    Algeria: Anacyclus clavatus is a common species in Algerian cereal systems (winter cereals-fallow) and in rainfed intercrops (leguminous plants), which is confirmed by the profusion of vernacular names. Preference for sandy or silty-sandy soils of sandstone or basalt origin.
                    Morocco: Anacyclus clavatus is a fairly common species of sandy steppes, pastures and crops on sandy-clay soil, up to 1600 m altitude.

                      Origin

                      Anacyclus clavatus is native to the Canary Islands, the Mediterranean rim minus the region between Egypt and Palestine.
                      Algeria: common everywhere.

                      Worldwide distribution

                      This species has been introduced into northern Europe (Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Poland and Norway).

                        Local harmfulness

                        Algeria: Anacyclus clavatus is a major "weed". It is one of the most harmful species of field crops because it can colonise practically all ecological environments (very frequent species), moreover its great adaptation to the agricultural environment gives it a very important potential of invading plots (very abundant species).

                          Local control

                          Algeria: Anacyclus clavatus can easily be controlled during the early stages of its development by different cultivation methods, when the base of the stems becomes rigid, it will be difficult to remove the individuals with the hoe. 2,4-D, simazine, and atrazine can be effective in pre-emergence and on young seedlings. Active ingredients such as glufosinate ammonium, linuron, paraquat, metribuzin, etc. will control adult individuals.
