Abstract

Biological data are summarized for Artemisia absinthium L., an introduced species that has escaped from domestication where it was grown for its medicinal properties. It is a weed of roadsides, waste places, farmyards, gardens, and shelter-belts and although found in every province and the northern United States, it is particularly prevalent in the prairie provinces and the northern great plains states. It can be controlled by cultivation but is capable of invading overgrazed pastures, hay fields and croplands that are periodically disturbed. It is generally a poor competitor and can be controlled by grass competition and by herbicides.Key words: Absinth, Artemisia absinthium, weed biology
