Segetal flora

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Segetal flora includes all wild plant species that grow alongside the cultivated plants grown by the farmer in the fields and vineyards. The community of the Segetal species occurring in a certain location is called the arable weed community . In Germany, 150 species belong to the Segetal flora. Many of these species are threatened in their population due to intensive agriculture and are on the red list . Many of them have reached German fields in the seeds of the (prehistoric) expansion of arable farming from the Mediterranean area and often cannot establish themselves outside the fields.
