Wild Buckwheat
Team up with Weed Warriors to attack leafy field invaders.
“O Tay!”
Sorry, wrong Buckwheat. Ironically, this particular buckwheat happens to be hairless. However, it is just as much of a little rascal. This rascally devil creeps and trails across your field like it owns the place reaching as much as 3 ½ feet long. Buckwheat is a smartweed—member of the smartweed family, that is—and is the most common contaminant in all seed stock. To add insult to injury, a single buckwheat plant can produce 12,000 seeds. That’s not “O Tay!”
