Once the spherical form is achieved the plant breaks at the soil line and becomes a tumbleweed which is blown by the wind, spreading thousands of seeds.

Salsola tragus Russian thistle, Salsola tragus, is common in arid landscapes across the U.S. and forms tumbleweeds upon senescence, allowing dispersal of hundreds of thousands of seeds over an expansive area.
Salsola tragus is the well-known and undesirable tumbleweed.
As a low-water-use plant, germinating quickly on minimally disturbed soils, and relatively free of diseases and parasites, this has been suggested as a fuel source for arid lands (Foster The Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food (2003) state that, \"At maturity, the brittle stem of For details on bio-control of this species please see Countries (or multi-country features) with distribution records for For details on bio-control of this species please see Bruckart, W., Cavin, C., Vajna, L., Schwarczinger, I., and Ryan, F.J., 2004.
