Because plants cannot walk around and take their seeds to other places, they have developed other methods to disperse (move) their seeds. The most common methods are wind, water, animals, explosion and fire. Dandelion seeds float away in the wind.

These include:

• Seed Dispersal by Wind. The wind is the natural and fundamental means of seed dispersal in the plant kingdom.
• Seed Dispersal by Water. In this method of seed dispersal, seeds float away from their parent plant.
• Seed Dispersal by Animal and Birds.
• Seed Dispersal by Gravity.
• Seed Dispersal by Explosions.

Dispersal of seeds is very important for the survival of plant species. If plants grow too closely together, they have to compete for light, water and nutrients from the soil. Seed dispersal allows plants to spread out from a wide area and avoid competing with one another for the same resources.

Dispersal of seeds means to scatter seeds over a wide area. The seeds of some of the plants such (as seeds) but the seeds of other plants disperse in the form of fruits (because fruits contain seeds inside them).

Violets, poisonous squirting cucumbers, and touch-me-nots or Impatiens capensis (not to be confused with these touch-me-nots) have an effective way of dispersing their seeds: They burst! The forceful ejection sends the seeds flying as far away as possible from the original plant.

Cotton is easy to grow, but here, as in other states, home plants are regulated because if allowed to grow continually (and often organically), they may become vectors for disease or pests that can threaten agricultural crops.

In dryland or under irrigation, FibreMax Cotton seed brings high yield potential and good fiber quality potential.

Cottonseed is full of protein but toxic to humans and most animals. Cotton plants do produce seeds, but those seeds are poisonous, at least to humans. This week, though,the U.S. Department of Agriculture approved a new kind of cotton — one that’s been genetically engineered so that the seeds are safe to eat.

If the cotton ball does reach the stomach, it can cause sharp pains for the person who ingested it. Cotton balls can also form blockages in the gastrointestinal tract, leading to surgery or even death.

Your body can’t digest cotton balls, so they’ll remain in your stomach or intestines. They may mix with mucus and other food particles, creating a mass known as a bezoar. When something can’t be digested, it can obstruct the digestive tract.

Put the cotton ball in your mouth near the tooth that hurts and bite down to keep it in place. One caution: Don’t go to sleep with the cotton ball still in your mouth. The FDA no longer considers this treatment effective enough to recommend it, although some dentists still believe it has benefits.

Bria Murphy Reveals That Some Models Eat Cotton Balls With Orange Juice To Stay Skinny. I’ve heard of people eating the cotton balls with the orange juice … they dip it in the orange juice and then they eat the cotton balls to help them feel full, because the cotton’s not doing anything. It’s just dissolving.
