Acroptilon repens, formerly known as Centaurea repens, is a resilient perennial native to Eurasia but has become an invasive pest worldwide. Its rapid spread was facilitated through accidental introduction via contaminated seeds, particularly Turkestan lucerne seed. This deeply rooted plant forms dense stands, affecting crop growth by being allelopathic, interfering notably with grains like lucerne, wheat, barley, and oats. Its adaptability, coupled with allelopathic traits and extensive root systems, allows it to dominate landscapes, reducing diversity and forage quality.
