Study Shows Goats as Viable Control Agent for Opportunistic Wetland Reeds

Washington, DC–(ENEWSPF)–October 7, 2014.  Goat grazing to control opportunistic, unwanted, and poisonous plants has taken off across the country, as researchers continue to find new value in these personable animals. According to a study published last month by an international team of scientists in the journal PeerJ, goats have an outstanding potential to effectively control the opportunistic, or “invasive” reed Phragmites australis, and replace the unnecessary use of costly and dangerous herbicides.
