#Ribwort #plantain #Plantago #lanceolata was originally native to Eurasia and North Africa, but is now found worldwide. It prefers meadows and e.g. lawns in parks. #Pollinators include butterflies. The sticky #seeds are dispersed by animals. M. Pol et al. (2024) investigated its #rootproperties as #cropcultivation perspectives.

A new study in collaboration with ZALF shows: When farmers combine #alfalfa with #ribwort plantain, the forage yield can be doubled compared to conventional mixtures & less #nitrate enters the #groundwater.

Looking straight down on a tiny Ribwort seed head, Plantago lanceolata, at Green Ridge, Brighton, Sussex UK. The circular centre is actually a spike of seeds.

I usually follow back, and really appreciate and often follow boosters & likers.
