Xanthium spp., commonly known as cockleburs, are harmful plants belonging to the class Magnoliopsida (dicotyledons). They are known to be detrimental to various crops, including corn, soybeans, cotton, and sugar beets, as well as other row crops such as maize and groundnuts. Cockleburs compete aggressively with these crops, causing reduced yields and economic losses. Xanthium strumarium, a major weed within the Xanthium genus, infests row crops like soybeans, cotton, maize, and groundnuts in many parts of the world, encompassing North America, southern Europe, the Middle East, South Africa, India, and Japan.
