Solanum carolinense


IDENTITY




Name: Solanum carolinense L.

Synonyms: Solanum hirsutum Nitt., S. sodomeum Roalt., S. plecvi Dun.

Taxonomic position: Solanaceae

Common name: horsenettle, bull nettle, apple-of-Sodom, wild tomato, devil’s tomato, devil’s potato, sand briar (English); паслён каролинский (Russian).

Bayer code: SOLCA

GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION


Europe: absent.

Asia: Bangladesh, Georgia (only part of the former USSR where this weed has been found), India, Nepal, Japan.

North America: Canada, USA.

Oceania: Australia (but the species introduced into Australia may be the related robust horsenettle Solanum dimidiatum), New Zealand.
Remark: S. carolinense is native to North America and has spread from there to other areas.
ON WHICH CROPS
All crops may be infested by S. carolinense, especially sown crops. The weed also causes problems in orchards, vineyards, tea plantations, pastures and meadows, and often occurs on roadsides and uncultivated land.

BIOLOGY



S. carolinense is a perennial weed. It reproduces mainly by its rhizomes, but may also reproduce by seeds. It has a well developed underground system, with a main root going deep into the soil, to 2.4 m. At a depth of 15-25 cm, rhizomes (more than 1 m long) emerge from the main root and provide new shoots around the mother plant. Small fragments of roots can also give rise to adventitious shoots. The main mass of rhizomes fills the layer of soil at 15 to 45 cm depth. The period of seed germination is very long. Flowering occurs from May to September. Seeds appear from July to November, and remain viable for 2 years. The weed prefers well aerated sandy soils, and is very resistant to drought.
DETECTION AND IDENTIFICATION
S. carolinense is 30-120 cm tall depending on growing conditions. The stem is stout and upright, with many branches. The plant is covered with stellate hairs. The stem, petioles, midrib and veins of leaves are covered with strong yellow spines up to 5 mm long. The leaves are alternate, entire, 5-15 cm long, palmately lobed, with short petioles. Flowers are large, 1.9-2.2 cm in diameter, bisexual, actinomorphic, in axillary inflorescences. The calyx is composed of 5 sepals, the corolla of 5 blue-white petals, and there are 5 conspicuous yellow stamens. The fruit is a round smooth greenish-yellow or yellow-orange berry, 1.5-2.5 cm in diameter. One berry contains 40 to 60 seeds. The seeds are flat, oval, yellow to brown, 2-3 mm long and 0.3-0.5 thick.
MEANS OF MOVEMENT AND DISPERSAL
S. carolinense seeds are carried inside the dried berries with harvested seeds of many crops, particularly with grain, and also with other plant products.
PATHWAYS
Contaminated seed lots (especially soybean), grain, fodder, soil and growing media, soil attached to plants.
DAMAGE
S. carolinense is a perennial weed, reproducing by seeds and by rhizomes which strongly compete with crops for water and nutrients. It can seriously reduce the yield and quality of harvested cereals and other field crops, fruits, tea, etc. In pastures, the weed replaces other herbaceous plants reducing the quality of pasturage. Animals do not feed on S. carolinense because it is toxic. The weed is an alternative host for many pests of potato and tomato (Colorado beetle, viruses, etc.) and helps them to establish and maintain their populations.
PHYTOSANITARY RISK
S. carolinense is an invasive weed, which continues to spread in areas where it has been introduced. Its control is extremely difficult (especially in solanaceous crops). It could present a risk for a large part of the EPPO region because of its drought resistance and the short period needed for its development.
PHYTOSANITARY MEASURES
The movement of agricultural seeds, grain, forage, fodder and other materials infested with fruits and seeds of S. carolinense into pest-free areas should be restricted. Eradicative treatments with herbicides are possible.
