00:00I think you've just got to stop focusing on parthenium and start focusing on developing your own goal plants,
00:05so the plants you really want established.
00:07And if you work your decisions towards those plants, you'll have more of them and less of this.
00:13But this is actually a plant that comes in when there's bare space.
00:18So if you don't have bare space, you more than likely won't have parthenium
00:21because it's only there because there's no other plants competing with it.
00:25So once you get grasses established or other legumes or whatever base, this will generally disappear.
00:33It won't have a chance to get young.
00:35So it's kind of a, it's almost like Mother Nature's put this in place just to manage bare country.
00:41In most cases, there's already other seed, other pastures in those paddocks,
00:45but they've been chewed down and chewed down.
00:47And so you need to actually go into a rotational grazing program to get rid of parthenium.
00:52You can't get rid of it under the set stocking.
00:54So in most farms, you'll be able to, even if you locked up a 20-acre or 30-acre paddock,
01:00lock it up, bring them all the cattle in and graze it heavily and then take them out
01:04and let all the other pastures establish, you'll find that everything will out-compete parthenium.
01:10It's not a good competitive plant.
01:12It's just there because there's nothing else there.
01:14The other plants have all been chewed out and this has just come up first.
01:18The next.
01:18The next.
