Friends living in the countryside must often see weeds. For weeds, it should be said that most peasant friends still like weeds, because many weeds are treasures, some of which can be eaten as wild vegetables and can also be used as herbs. however, for farmers who farm, they are not so friendly to these weeds, because these weeds persecute crops, so farmers hate weeds at the edge of the field. Cut them off as soon as you see them, so as not to affect the growth of crops. Below, the author will introduce to you such a kind of "harmful grass" in farmland.

Recently, it is the growing season for crops in farmland and paddy fields. The author has been at home to help several uncles remove weeds in the fields. Among these weeds, the author has found many interesting weeds, one of which has long and narrow leaves and a wrinkled surface. The most interesting thing is that when it blossoms, its greenhouse is like a beehive or honeycomb. I asked my uncle to know. It turns out that this kind of beehive-like weed is called "crepe grass", and it is also called honeycomb grass and honeycomb grass because of its peculiar greenhouse.

The author also picked a flower house of crepe grass, which does look like a honeycomb. After asking my uncle and some old farmers, I learned that this kind of weed is a big "harmful grass", and many farmers hate it.

Crepe grass most likes to grow near farmland, it mainly depends on seeds to reproduce, its vitality, fecundity and adaptability are very strong, and the most important thing is that it will blossom and bear fruit all the year round, if it is not removed, it will soon cover a large area of farmland, which is bound to affect the growth of crops, resulting in a reduction in crop production, so many farmers cut it off when they see crepe grass, so as not to affect its large-scale reproduction.

It is precisely because crepe grass likes to grow in the fields and persecute crops, so it is "notorious" in India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Malaysia and other Southeast Asian countries, and farmers in these countries hate it very much. I cut it off when I saw it. But in spite of this, in our rural areas, in addition to farmers, many other peasant friends like it very much. Why?

Because crepe grass is also a kind of weed with high medicinal value, according to the records of "Chinese Materia Medica", crepe grass can be used as medicine with flat taste, and has the effects of relieving appearance, relieving cough, dysmenorrhea and clear eye. it can be used to treat colds, headaches, toothache, sore throat, cough, sudden cough, indigestion and other symptoms.

Because crepe grass has these functions, although many peasant friends hate it very much and will cut it off, they also love it. After cutting it, they will collect it and sell it. According to my uncle, there is a special purchase in the village. Crepe grass can probably buy 16 yuan a jin, compared with many useless weeds, this is also a kind of rare goods. If you can weed the fields and earn some pocket money, why not do it?
