The dispersal pattern of a weed Tridax procumbens was investigated in an agricultural field. Two seed traps were designed, one to
examine the dispersal pattern of isolated individuals and another to study the dispersal distances from a cluster of T. procumbens
plants. The dispersal curves of both isolated individuals and cluster of plants followed an exponential model. Seeds dispersed in all
directions but the movement was primarily in the direction of wind (westerly direction) while the movement was least in the leeward
direction. The factors influencing anemochorous dispersal of composite seeds are discussed.
