The issue:
Annual broadleaf weeds, if present, reduce the value of sub-clover based pastures for livestock production. Spray-grazing is an effective tactic to reduce weeds, but only if the herbicide and grazing interventions are well managed.
The impact:
Spray-grazing can increase the composition and contribution of desirable grasses and sub-clovers, making the pasture more productive.
The opportunity:
If spray-grazing is carried out correctly, it can lift livestock productivity, while becoming a valuable weed management tool.
