Field Notes

Notes:

Wild carrot (Daucus
carota), also known as
Queen Anne’s lace,
was introduced from Europe
and is the genetic source of
edible carrots. It is a problem in
perennial cropping systems
such as grass seed production,
pasture and hay fields, and
Christmas tree production. It is
an especially serious threat
where cultivated carrot seed is
produced because it hybridizes
with the crop and ruins crop
seed. Wild carrot is the predominant
weed in many
undisturbed habitats.
Wild carrot is widely distributed
in North America, Europe,
and Asia.
