Phillip Nichols,Angelo Loi,Bradley J. Nutt,P. M. Evans,A.D. Craig,B.C. Pengelly,B.S. Dear,D.L. Lloyd,Clinton Revell,Ramakrishnan M. Nair,Mike Ewing,John Howieson,G.A. Auricht,J. H.

TL;DR: Developing the new pasture legumes of Mediterranean Basin origin for the Mediterranean, temperate and southern subtropical climates of Australia allows for more robust pastures buffered against variable seasons, soils, pests, diseases and management decisions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Field evaluation of perennial grasses and herbs in southern Australia. 2. Persistence, root characteristics and summer activity
Z. N. Nie,Steven J. Miller,G. Moore,Belinda Hackney,Belinda Hackney,S. P. Boschma,Kfm Reed,Meredith L. Mitchell,T. O. Albertsen,SG Clark,Andrew D. Craig,G. Kearney,Guangdi Li,Guangdi Li,Brian Dear,Brian Dear +15 more
TL;DR: Green-leafiness over summer was generally higher for subtropical grasses, native Grasses, herbs and some summer-active temperate grasses), than most temperate Grasses with high summer dormancy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Factors affecting the potential contributions of N2 fixation by legumes in Australian pasture systems
Mark B. Peoples,Mark B. Peoples,John Brockwell,James R. Hunt,A. D. Swan,A. D. Swan,L. Watson,Richard Hayes,Richard Hayes,Guangdi Li,Guangdi Li,Belinda Hackney,J. G. Nuttall,S. L. Davies,I. R. P. Fillery +14 more
TL;DR: On-farm surveys of %Ndfa achieved by legumes growing in farmers’ paddocks in Australia indicated that N2 fixation contributed >65% of the legume’s N requirements in three-quarters of the annual legumes examined, but this decreased to two-thirds of lucerne (Medicago sativa), and half of white clover (Trifolium repens) samples.
Journal ArticleDOI
Field evaluation of perennial grasses and herbs in southern Australia. 1. Establishment and herbage production
K. F. M. Reed,Z. N. Nie,S. M. Miller,S. M. Miller,Belinda Hackney,S. P. Boschma,Meredith L. Mitchell,T. O. Albertsen,G A Moore,S G Clark,A. D. Craig,A. D. Craig,G. Kearney,Guangdi Li,Brian Dear +14 more
TL;DR: Perennial ryegrass, tall fescue, cocksfoot and phalaris maintained productive yields across a diverse range of soils and climates and exploration of the diversity within these species in a nationally coordinated program of genetic improvement appears warranted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perennial pastures for recharge control in temperate drought-prone environments. Part 1: productivity, persistence and herbage quality of key species
TL;DR: Lucerne was the most productive species evaluated and chicory and perennial veldt grass, with further breeding and selection under Australian environmental conditions, could have the potential to be viable perennial pasture options for the cropping zone of southern NSW.
