Production and Environmental Challenges
|
|
The challenge is to increase the proportion of summer active perennial species to reduce recharge and salinity. At the same time, these pastures will reduce the need for supplementary feeding over summer and autumn.
|
Innovation being tested:
|
|

|
Base pasture:
|
|
The kikuyu pasture will be compared with an adjacent paddock that contain annual pasture species.
