Ivyleaf morningglory
|
|
|
| Ivyleaf
morningglory is a problem in cultivated areas in much of Indiana, especially
the southern part of the state. Ivyleaf morningglory along with its
close relative Common morningglory were introduced into the United States
as flowering ornamental plants. The seed of these species can still
be purchased at garden shops to be planted around trellises. |

|
 |
The cotyledons
of morningglory plants are large-lobed and have a butterfly shaped. |
|
|
| The stems
of morningglory will grow in a spiral, vining fashion and parasitize corn
plants. Severe infestations can dramatically reduce corn yields because
of this vining, parasitic growth pattern. |

The seed
of morningglory is dull grayish-black with rounded side, two flattened
sides and look somewhat like an orange that has been quartered. |
