1. Avena fatua

   Avena fatua is a species of grass in the oat genus. It is known as the common wild oat. This oat is native to Eurasia but it has been introduced to most of the other temperate regions of the world. It is naturalized in some areas and considered a noxious weed in others.Avena fatua is a typical oat in appearance, a green grass with hollow, erect stems 1 to 4 feet (30–120 cm) tall bearing nodding panicles of spikelets. The long dark green leaves are up to a centimeter wide and rough due to small hairs. The seedlings are also hairy. The seed kernel is thinner, longer, darker and hairy when compared with the seed of the common cultivated oat (Avena sativa). This species and other wild oats can become troublesome in prairie agriculture when it invades and lowers the quality of a field crop, or competes for resources with the crop plants. It takes very few wild oat plants to cause a significant reduction in the yield of a wheat or cultivated oat field, even though the seeds are a type of oat.

1. avena fatua

   Avena fatua, commonly known as wild oat, is an annual grass species belonging to the Poaceae family, native to Eurasia but has since spread worldwide. Although it is considered a useful fodder plant, it is also seen as a major weed in many places, especially in agricultural land where it can negatively impact crop yields due to its competitive nature. The plant can grow up to 1.5 meters tall and its seeds, known as groats, have been harvested by humans for thousands of years for their nutritional properties.
