THE FUSE

The Limpopo Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, in partnership with the Agricultural Research Council (ARC), is currently hosting the Bankrupt Bush information session at Masoing Village in Elias Motsoaledi Municipality. The session aims to educate farmers and land users on the value of grazing land and the impact of Bankrupt Bush, scientifically known as Seriphium plumosum. Me Elize Lundall-Magnuson from ARC emphasized that the session is designed to equip farmers with practical knowledge on how Bankrupt Bush affects livestock grazing and how its management can benefit the land. By understanding the ecology and growth patterns of this invasive plant, farmers can make informed decisions to protect and optimize their grazing areas.
