Mugwort is in flower! The grass flowering season is drawing to a close!

Mugwort prefers to grow on overgrown and unmown fallow land, in weedy areas, and on the edges of woods and paths, often forming large stands. Near these locations, the risk of allergic reactions can be significantly higher, as even a few pollen grains can trigger allergic reactions in people who are sensitised to mugwort.

The grass flowering season is drawing to a close and grass pollen levels are generally very low now. Higher concentrations of grass pollen may still occur in areas with reed beds.

Pollen levels from sorrel and plantain remain moderate.

Due to the very dry spells this year, goosefoot plants are releasing increased amounts of pollen. Goosefoot plants are found on fallow land, roadsides and in weedy areas.

Nettle pollen is frequently present in the air.

The concentration of fungal spores in the air remains moderate to high.

Ragweed, also known as ambrosia or grapeweed, is not yet a problem in Salzburg, unlike in the eastern and southern federal states.

If you spot ragweed populations whilst out and about, you can report the plant via the Ragweed Finder app or at ragweedfinder.at, thereby informing the relevant authorities in the federal states about the presence of this invasive plant.
