In this video we talk about how to identify Common Ragweed or Ambrosia artemisiifolia. Common Ragweed is a very commonly found plant in fields, clearings, lawns, gardens, and roadsides. It has a relative known as Giant Ragweed and they both produce an allergenic pollen that is known to cause hay fever in those who are allergic. The leaves of this plant are pinnately divided and have teeth running along the margins of the leaf that alternate from side to side. The leaves can take on a couple of growth forms and can be in an opposite pattern or they can be alternating, oftentimes having both forms on one plant. The stem of Common Ragweed is round and hairy but more so along the top section of the plant. The flowers appear in long cylindrical spikes and tend to form out of the branch nodes along the main stem and top portions of the plant. Each plant can produce multiple flower spikes with dozens of flowers per spike so it's easy to see why this plant produces so much pollen. • I hope this video has helped you guys out and I hope you learned something.
