Body

Mugwort wormwood (Artemisia vulgaris L), an ornamental sage, shows promise in the reclamation of disturbed lands. Dryland plantings at several mine sites showed excellent survival and growth. Analysis of the plant material showed the average protein content was 31.5% and the average in vitro digestibility, 67%. The low volatile oil content, 0.03%, accounts for its palatability and digestibility as compared with other species of Artemisia.
