The plant is classified as cosmopolitan, that is, one that is widespread in many countries. In Russia, grass grows everywhere. The plant feels great on the edges and clearings, in meadows and ravines, in the steppe, in the foothills, as well as among cereal crops and garden crops. The main harm of common colza is its ability to weed farmsteads and vegetable gardens.

Botanical features

Common cress is a herbaceous perennial whose stems take two years to develop. The height of the plant sometimes reaches 80 cm. It looks like this.

• Roots. Rod root system Cola can penetrate quite deeply into the soil, which ensures the unpretentiousness of the plant. A long main root and multiple lateral roots will provide the plant with moisture and nutrients even under unfavorable conditions.
• Stems. Often smooth, may have slight pubescence. The erect stem has a light green color, often branches, the branches end in separate inflorescences.
• Leaves. The lowest leaves of the colza form a rosette with their petioles. The leaf blade is lyre-shaped - consists of an upper, large lobe, with a notched edge and a heart-shaped base, as well as four oppositely placed oblong lobes. Lower leaves have a long petiole, their placement on the lower part of the stem is opposite. The upper sessile leaves may be obovate or lanceolate.
• Flowers. The plant actively blooms from May to June. The flowers are golden yellow in color. The corolla is formed by four petals, the length of which reaches 7 mm, and is twice the length of the sepals. Because of this, the brushes differ in volume.
• Fruit. They are represented by pods of a brownish-yellow hue. When they open, gray-brown seeds spill out, having a slight shine, as well as a flattened shape.

In the first year of the plant’s life, only a basal rosette of leaves on long petioles develops. In the second year of life, a flowering, fruiting stem grows, which dies after the end of fruiting. The plant produces flower stalks every year. Interestingly, cress spreads by root shoots and also by seeds. From one plant, seeds scatter three meters around.

Procurement of raw materials

Useful properties Cola is found in all parts of the plant - aboveground and underground. You can prepare them as follows.

• Grass. Harvesting of above-ground parts begins in May, when the common cress blooms. Cut off the leafy flowering stems, along with the basal leaves. They look for impurities and damaged parts of the plant. Dry under a canopy or in the attic, ensuring good ventilation. After the raw material has completely dried, you can separate the leaves and flowers from the stems.
• Roots. The underground part of the rapeseed is harvested in the fall. It is not recommended to dig up young plants due to the low concentration of nutrients in them. After digging up the plant with a shovel, gently pull at the base of the root to pull out the entire main root. It is washed with running water, dried to remove excess moisture, and placed in a shaded place with good ventilation until completely dry.
• Seeds. Their preparation begins in July. The still green pods are collected along with the seeds, which are dried under plant conditions and proper ventilation. Traditional healers recommend storing the seeds along with the pods to protect them from pests and mold.

Common cress is a perennial herbaceous plant with biennial shoots. Its Latin name is Barbarea vulgáris. This herb is a typical representative of the genus Surepka, cabbage family (Brassicaceae). In the wild, Surepka grows throughout Europe, and is also found in the European part of Russia and Western Siberia. It was introduced to Japan, Australia, India, Africa, North America, New Zealand, where it has taken root well, becoming virtually a cosmopolitan plant. Interestingly, in many European countries Common colza is called St. Barbara's herb.

Description

Common cress is a taproot plant. Its height is usually 30 - 80 centimeters. The stem is highly branched and can be either bare or slightly fluffy. Stem and basal leaves are located on petioles, may have two or three oblong lateral lobes, and the lobe located at the base is heart-shaped, notched-toothed. The cress has a brush-shaped inflorescence, which is initially unbranched. And its flowers are four-membered, have a double perianth, and are golden-yellow in color. The length of the petals is 5-7 mm. Each flower has as many as five stamens.

The fruit is an oblong pod with a short club-shaped nose. Its valves are straw-yellow in color. The stalks are quite short. Crescent seeds are oval in shape, brownish-gray in color, and have a slight shine. From above they seem to be finely tuberculate.

Compound

The chemical composition of common colza is unique and quite rich. Its seeds contain about 35% fatty oils, and the plant itself contains various types glycosides, as well as saponins, mustard oil, ascorbic acid, various organic acids, thioglycosides (substances that, when broken down, form oils that can cause enteritis and diarrhea). It turns out that a lot of toxic substances accumulate in the seeds of the common cress. It is completely logical that feeding this grass can be fraught with consequences. Eating colza is really dangerous for both cattle and poultry, horses, and livestock. And if you feed them green mass or common rapeseed seeds, then the matter is fraught with poisoning. So you have to be careful - after all, cress is weed, often found densely in grass crops.

This plant is an exceptionally good honey plant. Bees get quite a lot of pollen and nectar from rapeseed. And if we talk about continuous tracts of this plant, then their honey productivity is 40-50 kg per hectare. Crescent blooms in late spring - early summer, just the right time for honey collection. The honey turns out greenish yellow, characterized by a very pleasant light smell. It contains an increased amount of glucose, due to which such honey very quickly becomes solid, that is, crystallizes.

Hello everyone! Once again I would like to talk about the beneficial properties of plants that grow literally under our feet, but contain many useful things for humans and not only. Today we will talk about rapeseed - a perennial herbaceous plant, which since the end of spring in the form of fairly extensive “yellow islands” has been pleasing us with its cheerful color and honey aroma.

It has a basal rosette of leaves, an erect stem with sparse alternately planted slightly serrated leaves and a powerful fragrant inflorescence in the form of a brush of yellow flowers. The fruit of the rapeseed is a bent pod, which can contain up to 8 fairly large seeds.

However, I note that the shape of the fruit is one of the main distinctive features rapeseed from its closest relative and very similar in appearance - this is wild radish or sverbiga. It is also quite valuable nutritionally and medicinal plant, but it is biennial, has an erect edible branched stem and powerful root, individual plants can reach a height of up to 1.5 meters; The fruit of Sverbiga has the shape of a slightly elongated, slightly compressed, pointed nut of greenish-brown color with 1-2 seeds.
