Treatment

Shepherd’s purse, (Capsella bursa-pastoris) plant of the mustard family (Brassicaceae). Native to the Mediterranean region, Shepherd’s purse has become naturalized worldwide and is a common lawn and roadside weed. The plant is most conspicuous in the spring and is distinguished for its flat heart-shaped green fruits that are borne along the inflorescence stalks.

 Unless there is a very dense population, shepherd’s purse doesn’t usually cause significant yield losses in crops and pastures.

Found in all States of Australia, across a range of soil types, Capsella bursa-pastoris is known by its common name shepherd's purse because of its heart-shaped fruits which are purse-like.
