Nectar weed



Nectar weed is found in a number of overground areas and resembles a patch of long grass. Its purpose for Pikmin is as a source of nectar: they can extract pools of nectar from it seemingly by plucking out single blades of grass. Unlike eggs, these will only ever contain nectar, not spray nectars. The amount of nectar contained inside a patch is [random, and it is possible to have no drops of nectar appear. Only five Pikmin can be pulling a patch of nectar weed at a time. There is no need to direct Pikmin to the patch, as they will attempt to use it whenever they walk near it.

Ideally, it is best to have flower Pikmin work on plucking the leaves, and, with all leaf and bud Pikmin, use group swarming to keep the Pikmin in a tight circle around the patch of grass as nectar is produced.

Pikmin: Attack of the Breadbugs
Nectar Weed acts like it did in previous games, but ten Pikmin may pluck patches of Spray Weed at once. Nectar Weed can be found in the Beginner Territory, Marsh Territory, Loaf Territory, and Hidden Territory of the Land of Wonders. Captain Olimar can assist Pikmin in plucking Nectar Weed, even if ten Pikmin are already plucking it. This technique can be used to pluck a patch of Nectar Weed very quickly.

Pikmin: Wide World
Although it has been renamed as Nectar Grass, it remains an invaluable source of nectar. Pikmin will pluck blades of Nectar Grass until the entire patch is gone, and every blade plucked has a chance to produce nectar. An unlimited amount of Pikmin may work on plucking blades at a time. Pikmin are no longer distracted by Nectar Grass and must be directed to work on removing a patch of it. Idle Pikmin, however, will automatically begin working on it. Leaders can also pluck blades of Nectar Grass.
