Assessing the palatability and nutritional value of Matricaria to grazing sheep
  • To determine whether sheep graze on matricaria (palatability of the weed) in a mixed species pasture and if so at which growth stages is the weed palatable.
  • Estimate the feed value of matricaria at various growth stages compared to other available feed.
  • Evaluate the use of MCPA to increase matricaria palatability.
  • Evaluate the efficacy of late flowering mowing or weed wiping to control matricaria compared to district practice of spray topping.
