Weeds and Weed Seeds: Illustrated and Described With Notes on Seed Cleaning (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Weeds and Weed Seeds: Illustrated and Described With Notes on Seed Cleaning
New weeds are introduced on farms with imperfectly cleaned cereals, clover or other commercial seeds, and with commercial feeding stuffs which often con tain vital weed seeds. They are spread from district to dist-riot through the various transportation facilities, are disseminated within a locality in stable manure from towns and cities and are distributed from farm to farm through threshing machines and from, field to field by farm implements. The wind carries weed seeds long distances not only in summer but with drifting soil and over the surface of the snow in winter. Streams distribute them along their courses. They are also distributed by herbivorous animals and seed feeding birds, through the stomachs of which the seeds pass undigested; or they attach themselves by special contrivances, such as hooked and barbed hairs, spines, gummy excretions, etc., to passing animals.
