Silver grasses continue gen by wind to spread the seeds. Seeds are able to grow with the help of the wind.  In this work, I apply the nature habit of sliver grasses and change their growing condition by cutting off the stems and roots then put them in the bucket of soil from the place of origin.  The grasses then are put in the field experimentation with an air blower inside. The blower creates wind to let grasses present a way just like they are in the wild. An anemometer monitors the experiment. The grasses eventually end their lives with time. Rootless grasses are able to spread their seeds with the wind created by the blower before they die.
