dispersers
Things that scatter
Dispersers are agents or devices that scatter or spread something across an area.
The term applies to mechanisms that distribute seeds, chemicals, or particles: Wind and birds are natural seed dispersers.
In ecology, dispersers are animals that carry seeds away from parent plants.
Industrial dispersers break up and distribute substances in manufacturing processes.
