Unreferenced date January 2009 In gardening and botany botanical terminology, a volunteer is a plant that grows on its own, rather than being deliberately planted by a farmer or Gardening gardener . Volunteers often grow from seed s that float in on the wind , are dropped by bird s, or are inadvertently mixed into compost . Unlike weed s, which are unwanted plants, a volunteer may be encouraged once it appears, being watered, fertilized, or otherwise cared for. Volunteers that grow from the seeds of specific cultivars do not reliably come true, clarify date March 2012 and often differ significantly from the parent. Such open pollinated plants, if they show desirable characteristics, may be selected to become new cultivars. Agriculture In Crop rotation agricultural rotations , self set plants from the previous year s crop may become established as weeds in the current crop. For example, volunteer winter wheat will germinate to quite high levels in a following Brassica napus oilseed rape crop, usually requiring chemical control measures. In agricultural research, high purity of a harvested crop is usually desirable. To achieve this, typically a group of temporary workers will walk the crop rows looking for volunteer plants, or rogue plants in an exercise often referred to as roguing.
