Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. is an opportunistic and ruderal plant that colonises farmlands, fallow lands and road embankments. Common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.) is mentioned in literature as invasive weed that is commonly found in disturbed sites as roadsides, railways, gravel pits, construction sites, agricultural land, waterways etc. In addition to being known as a noxious weed, it came into the public interest as a source of very strong allergenic pollen that causes allergic responses in 10% of the Ambrosia artemisiifolia is commonly found in ruderal or waste sites associated with frequent and extensive disturbance regimes resulting from human activities.

The greater incidence of this species in Romania is in the western counties (Timis, Arad and Bihor). The current spatial invasion pattern has October. However, it is also regarded as an environmental weed in some parts of New South Wales and Queensland and is listed as a priority environmental weed in at least one Natural Resource Management region. 53, Nr.
