When planning weeding strategies, the goal is to establish well-structured balanced pastures, combining grasses, legumes, and other plants adapted to the local microclimate and soil conditions. These pastures should ideally support both grazing and mowing, with a focus on grazing as primary use. However, certain plants present in the Galician (NW Spain) pastures, such as species from the Rumex genus and other Polygonaceae, are generally unpalatable to livestock in most of their vegetative states. Additionally, these plants tend to become invasive due to their ability to spread seeds through the air, animal faeces, water, and the mechanization of forage and tillage.
