WOOD PRODUCTS VALUE :
NO-ENTRY
IMPORTANCE TO LIVESTOCK AND WILDLIFE :

if at all, even when other forage is scarce [9].

MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS :
Dogfennel may serve as a reservior for disease-causing pathogens when
growing among food crops [4].
Dogfennel is scarce on forest ranges in good condition [9]. Grazing
forage utilization in excess of 65 percent will favor dogfennel
establishment [3]. Dogfennel presence may indicate overgrazing.
