peas disperse their seeds by self dispersal. When the pod dry's out the peas literally explode out of their pod and land somewhere new ready to grow into a new plant.

Examples of dispersal by explosion include the dispersal of seeds by plants like touch-me-not (Impatiens) and wood sorrel, as well as the dispersal of fungal spores by fungi like earthstars and puffballs. These organisms use built-up pressure to forcibly expel their seeds or spores to help them spread over a wider area.

Seeds can be transferred through various methods, including wind dispersal, water dispersal, animal dispersal, and self-dispersal mechanisms. Wind dispersal involves seeds being carried by the wind, water dispersal occurs when seeds float in water to new locations, animal dispersal happens when seeds are ingested by animals and deposited elsewhere, and self-dispersal mechanisms include seed pods that burst open to release seeds or seeds that are propelled away by the plant itself.

The spreading out of seeds from the original plant is called dispersal.
Mechanical dispersal of seeds typically occurs through mechanisms like explosive seed pods, wind dispersal, or animal dispersal. Characteristics that aid in mechanical dispersal include lightweight seeds, winged structures for wind dispersal, or structures that allow for explosive release of seeds.
Arhar seeds, also known as pigeon pea seeds, are primarily dispersed through natural mechanisms such as wind and water, as well as by animals and human activities. The pods of the arhar plant split open when mature, releasing the seeds to the ground. Additionally, animals may carry the seeds away or consume them, facilitating further dispersal. Human cultivation and agricultural practices also contribute to the spread of arhar seeds.
The four main dispersal methods are wind dispersal, water dispersal, animal dispersal, and self-dispersal. Wind dispersal involves seeds or spores being carried by the wind, water dispersal involves seeds or spores being carried by water currents, animal dispersal involves seeds or spores being carried by animals, and self-dispersal involves seeds or spores being dispersed by the plant itself.
Three mechanisms for seed dispersal are wind dispersal (seeds carried by wind currents), animal dispersal (seeds carried by animals), and water dispersal (seeds carried by water currents). Adaptations for seed dispersal include structures like wings or hairs on seeds that aid in wind dispersal, fruit that attracts animals to eat and disperse seeds, and buoyant seed coats that enable water dispersal.
Seeds that scatter by bursting are known as explosive or dehiscent seeds. These seeds are contained in pods or fruits that dry out and split open suddenly when mature, releasing the seeds away from the parent plant. Examples include plants like the pea (Pisum sativum) and the touch-me-not (Impatiens), which utilize this mechanism to enhance seed dispersal and reduce competition with the parent plant. This method of dispersal can help the seeds find new habitats for germination.
