The Air Force base is offering a grant to evaluate using small ruminants for targeted grazing to reduce weeds like Dalmatian toadflax. The study will compare grazing to chemical control and hybrid approaches, aiming to identify effective management thresholds in a mixed grass prairie. Additionally, the grant will assess reintroducing desirable species to enhance wildlife habitat diversity. Closing date: Mar 03, 2016.

| Description: | Evaluate the efficacy of targeted grazing by small ruminants (sheep or goats) in reducing Dalmatian toadflax and other weeds while enhancing condition of desirable vegetation.
â¿¢ Compare effects of targeted grazing to chemical weed control and to approaches integrating grazing and herbicides. â¿¢ Assess the relationships between pre-treatment vegetation condition to post-treatment vegetation response to identify potential management thresholds for Dalmatian toadflax in a transitional northern mixed grass prairie ecosystem. â¿¢ Evaluate reintroduction of desirable species within the framework of a strategic weed management program to augment species diversity for wildlife habitat. |
