[QUOTE="Stepper, post: 377920, member: 3398"] You know i got to looking at the seed pods on butter cup weeds. And if you look at the last two pictures that Bama posted (look at the one with the close up of a butter cup plant) you can see the see pods. In the picture they look like a tiny cuckel burr or a green berry. But the next time you are to where you can pull one off and examine it. You will see that pod is actually hundreds of butter cup seeds that are pressed together making the seed pod. So i sort of think that at the time these seed pods are ready to spread their seeds. If it is a really windy day that the wind will carry these seeds for several hundred yards. Maybe even up to a half mile. I have sprayed my hay meadows with grazon for the last 3 years now. And i never had any problems with butter cups until this year. Bama i know that the pictures of the two feilds that you showed has one relatively clean feild as compared to the other. And you feel that the reason for that is because you used grazon on the one feild. But i would sure like to know what the results are next year if we are both still here on the site and you happen to think of it. It looks like even in the feild that you sparyed the grazon on still yet has a few butter cups on it doesnt it ? Could it have been possible that the wind could of been blowing opposite of the clean feild into the infested feild ? [/QUOTE]
