Abstract: "The major finding from our research and the central message in this book is that grazing management in association with other techniques such as the use of herbicides, fertiliser and biological control agents provides the basis for weed control. Moreover, grazing management can restict weed invasion, reduce weed populations and increase the competitive ability, productivity and sustainability of pastures"-- p. 5.
