Destroy Cockleweed Aids Clean Seed Practices
Article from Orange Judd Farmer warns that the weed cockle (Lyshale githa we) contaminates wheat and rye, lowering flour quality. It grows 2 to 4 feet high, with reddish purple flowers, and seed pods full of dark seeds. Millers note cockle is heavier and harder to remove than chess, hence prevention via clean seed is essential. Planting only seed with no prior grain helps eradicate cockle over years, benefiting both growers and neighbors.
