Research and Information
Targeted
Grazing or
Managed
Herbivory is
carefully controlled grazing of livestock to
accomplish specific vegetation management
objectives. This precise application of grazing
can be honed into a powerful weed management
tool. Biologically sound tools are needed to
manage the weedy exotic plants that are invading
into and devastating natural plant communities
across North America.
