As a black pigment with
hydrophilous properties, it can be used in the production of oil-dispersible and water-dispersible paints, which are said to demonstrate excellent hiding properties, an intense black color, and a high level of light resistance.
Cruden suggested the pollen/ovule ratio reflects the probability of sufficient pollen transfer for maximum seed set and thus, hypothetically the relative uncertainty of
hydrophilous pollination in surfgrass.
The pollination modes are: An anemophilous, En entomophilous, Hi
hydrophilous. The dispersal syndromes are: An wind (anemochorous), Hi water (hydrochorous), Zoo animals (zoochorous), others (including barochorous, balistochorous, etc.).
