(live) live is parasitised by cleistothecium Erysiphe heraclei - Umbel Mildew (Erysiphales: Erysiphaceae) UK/Ireland Ing, B., 1990
(live) live is parasitised by conidial anamorph Erysiphe heraclei - Umbel Mildew (Erysiphales: Erysiphaceae) UK/Ireland Ing, B., 1990
is foodplant of Calosirus terminatus - a beetle (Coleoptera) Bullock, J.A., 1992
flower flower is grazed by larva Hypera pastinacae - a weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) UK/Ireland Bullock, J.A., 1992 [Since this weevil is restricted to sea cliffs in the UK, this may refer to Daucus carota ssp. gummifer. (MWS)]
leaf (live) live leaf is parasitised by hypophyllous colony Plasmopara crustosa - a downy mildew (Peronosporales: Peronosporaceae) Ellis, M.B. & J.P., 1997
leaf leaf is mined by larva Phytomyza chaerophylli - a leaf-mining fly (Diptera: Agromyzidae) Minor Spencer, K.A., 1972 [mine short, linear, generally closely following margin of a leaf segment]
leaf leaf is mined by larva Euleia heraclei - a gall fly (Diptera: Tephritidae) Foreign White, I.M., 1988
leaf leaf is grazed by larva Hypera pastinacae - a weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) UK/Ireland Bullock, J.A., 1992 [Since this weevil is restricted to sea cliffs in the UK, this may refer to Daucus carota ssp. gummifer. (MWS)]
leaf leaf is grazed by Hypera pollux - a weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) UK/Ireland Morris, M.G., 2002
root root is parasitised by underground tuber Orobanche minor var. maritima - a common broomrape (Orobanchaceae) Major Clapham, A.R., Tutin, T.G. & Moore, D.M., 1985
Stace, C., 1997
root root may be infected and damaged by colony of Thielaviopsis dematiaceous anamorph Thielaviopsis basicola - a dematiaceous anamorphic fungus (Microascales) Ellis, M.B. & J.P., 1997 [sometimes causes a black root rot]
stem (dead) dead stem is decayed by erumpent, often becoming superficial apothecium Heterosphaeria patella - a discomycete (Helotiales: Helotiaceae) Ellis, M.B. & J.P., 1997
stem (dead) dead stem is decayed by Heteropatella anamorph Heterosphaeria patella - a discomycete (Helotiales: Helotiaceae) Ellis, M.B. & J.P., 1997
