BeefConnect Webinar: Spelling Strategies for Recovery of Pasture Condition
27 February, 2017 @ 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm
FREEThis is a BeefConnect event brought to you through a partnership with FutureBeef and Beef Central with funding from the Queensland Government and Meat & Livestock Australia. Reduced condition of pasture and soil is common across northern Australia. By spelling your pasture over the summer growing season, you can improve the condition of your soils and pasture, and improve your returns. To quantify the response of native pasture to differing spelling regimes, we conducted trials at two sites with grazing land in poor condition in central and north Queensland. We recorded plant life-cycles, yield, and composition, and soil seed banks in detail.
Join in this webinar on the 27 February from 12.30pm to 1.30pm to hear from Senior Pasture Scientist, Paul Jones from DAF Emerald, discuss:
- Previous research and background to the project
- Spelling strategies – the research and the results
- Case studies
- Recommendations
