Giant sumpweed (Iva xanthifolia Nutt.) is a newly-introduced invasive weed of the family Asteraceae that has spread in Vojvodina (Serbia) since the 1960s. The weed is currently most frequent in ruderal localities but it has also infested field crops over the past ten years. As part of an initial study of characteristics of giant sumpweed, we examined its spreading in the region of Vojvodina (Serbia). Rural ruderal areas were included, as well as maize, sugar beet, sunflower and soybean crops. Giant sumpweed was detected in 51 localities in Vojvodina during investigation that was conducted from 2002 to 2006. None of the investigated localities had a pure population with 100% presence of giant sumpweed but the species was one of 17 weeds that were found in all localities, which indicates that it has adapted well in Vojvodina and has a considerable potential for spreading.
