“…Desk studies conducted in Germany, the United Kingdom, France, and Sweden on the potential effects of a glyphosate ban on agricultural productivity and farm income concluded that, in particular, no-tillage farming/conservation agriculture will face severe problems without glyphosate to control weeds and cover crops [ 20 ]. Moreover, glyphosate is an important tool, controlling an invasive plant species [ 21 , 22 , 23 ].…”

Glyphosate is one of the most widely used herbicides, but is still in the spotlight due to its controversial impact on the environment and human health. The main purpose of this study was to explore the effects of different glyphosate usages on harvested grain/seed contamination. Two field experiments of different glyphosate usage were carried out in Central Lithuania during 2015–2021. The first experiment was a pre-harvest application, with two timings, the first according to the label (14–10 days), and the other applied 4–2 days before harvest (off-label), performed in winter wheat and spring barley in 2015 and 2016. The second experiment consisted of glyphosate applications at label rate (1.44 kg ha−1) and double dose rate (2.88 kg ha−1) at two application timings (pre-emergence of crop and at pre-harvest), conducted in spring wheat and spring oilseed rape in 2019–2021. The results suggest that pre-emergence application at both dose rates did not affect the harvested spring wheat grain or spring oilseed rape seeds—no residues were found. The use of glyphosate at pre-harvest, despite the dosage and application timing, led to glyphosate’s, as well as its metabolite, aminomethosphonic acid’s, occurrence in grain/seeds, but the amounts did not reach the maximum residue levels according to Regulation (EC) No. 293/2013. The grain storage test showed that glyphosate residues remain in grain/seeds at steady concentrations for longer than one year. A one year study of glyphosate distribution within main and secondary products showed that glyphosate residues were mainly concentrated in wheat bran and oilseed rape meal, while no residues found in cold-pressed oil and wheat white flour, when glyphosate used at pre-harvest at the label rate.

The article discusses the relevance of the problem of invasive alien species (IAS) in Europe, highlights the bioecological characteristics of invasive species of the genus Heracleum (H. mantegazzianum, H. persicum, and H. sosnowskyi) and historical ways of introduction. Statistics on the spread of these species and their negative impact on biodiversity and ecosystem resilience are presented. The spread of invasive species of the genus Heracleum has far-reaching consequences, affecting ecosystem sustainability, the economy, and healthcare. It has been shown that the ecological consequences of the impact are manifested not only in the ability of these species to displace native flora and disrupt natural ecosystems, but also in various areas of economic activity. These plants’ aggressive growth and allelopathic effects lead to significant economic costs associated with land management and agricultural productivity. The examples of different mechanisms of impact of invasive species of the genus Heracleum highlight their detrimental effects on ecosystems and human health. In particular, the phototoxic substances of Heracleum spp. pose severe risks to human health, causing skin inflammation and long-term photosensitivity. Various methods of controlling, eradicating and preventing the spread of Heracleum spp. species in Europe are discussed in detail, including mechanical, biological, and chemical methods and preventive strategies. Attention is also focused on post-eradication control methods, disposal of plant waste generated during eradication, and restoration of natural vegetation. The key steps of an integrated approach to effectively reduce the invasion of Heracleum spp. in new areas are analysed. The urgent need for integrated management strategies to mitigate the impact of invasive Heracleum species and prevent further spread is shown. It is noted that IPM control is an important international issue that requires coordinated efforts at the EU and UN levels. The conclusion is drawn about an integrated management approach that combines physical, chemical and biological methods adapted to specific regional conditions and aligned with international biodiversity goals. The article also discusses the role of public awareness and education in preventing the spread of invasive species. Public involvement in early detection and rapid response initiatives is emphasised, which is crucial for the successful management of alien invasive plant species.
