how chenopodium act as trap plant
Answers
Answer:
Though cultivated in some regions, the plant is elsewhere considered a weed. Common names include lamb's quarters, melde, goosefoot, manure weed, and fat-hen, though the latter two are also applied to other species of the genus Chenopodium, for which reason it is often distinguished as white goosefoot. It is sometimes also called pigweed. However, pigweed is also a name for several other plants in the family Amaranthaceae;[5] it is used, for example, for the redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus).
Chenopodium album is extensively cultivated and consumed in Northern India as a food crop,[6] and in English texts it may be called by its Hindi name bathua or bathuwa . It is called pappukura in Telugu, paruppukkirai in Tamil, kaduoma in Kannada, vastuccira in Malayalam, and chakvit in Konkani.
