my choc lab eats barley seed in the farmers fields when she is being walked,will this do her eny harm.
The quick answer is NO, ant will not kill sunflower plants or flowers.
Many people in blogs and question sites all over the web have reported ants of every kind and description on their sunflower plants. For specific information in your area, check with your local Extension Service agent. He's there to help.
Here are some of the general ideas about ants and sunflowers:
- The ants are probably "herding" aphids for their honeydew. The real critter attacking and hurting your sunflowers is that little aphid. The ants are the tell-tale sign.
- Fire ants are a real bother to humans tending the sunflowers, but there is a strange thing that happens. When you have a fire ant nest at the root of a plant, aeration and a redistribution of nutrients takes place, and more times than not the plant benefits from the association.
- Ants enjoy the nectar of the flowers, as do bees, wasps and other insects. In that way, they help move pollen from anther to stamen. There is no evidence that the ants are eating any part of the plant.
- There are ants that protect a plant by attacking caterpillars or other insects.

Barley looks very much like wheat. If you've seen a wheat plant before, then barley has often much longer awns (those long things that stick out from the seeds on the seed head) and is often a more yellowish colour. Wheat tends to be more reddish in colour, with shorter awns. The seeds are not clumped together as wheat is, as the seeds are a bit more smoother on the head than wheat. In most barley seed heads, there are less seeds on a barley seed head than on a wheat seed head.
See the links below for pictures of barley plants and seed heads and pictures of wheat plants for comparison.
