This poppy is notable as an agricultural weed (hence the common names including corn and field) and after World War I as a symbol of dead soldiers. Before the advent of herbicides, P.
Rhoeas sometimes was so abundant in agricultural fields that it could be mistaken for a crop. However, the only species of Papaveraceae grown as a field crop on a large scale is Papaver somniferum, the opium poppy.
