Project Information

Summary:

Project did not delivered on all Objectives, which in hindsight were too ambitious. Following rejection of the original final report and acknowledgement that key NRMs issue were not addressed, researchers modified the report to include recommendations for further R&D in the area.

Next Steps: nil at this stage recognising the limited resources available to MCV2 and the priorities of regional projects on Seasonal Forecasting.

Project Information

Summary:

A significant number of the world’s premium fine woolgrowers operate on New South Wales’ Northern Tablelands, which covers 2.5 million hectares and carries four million sheep. Over 1000 woolgrowers operate in the region, with granite, trap and basalt soil types and predominantly summer rainfall.

Background

Aims:

Profitable, biodiverse wool productions systems focused on productive management of native vegetation - an increasing priority for the region’s woolgrowers. The project aimed to develop solutions to natural resource management issues such as native tree dieback, unpalatable invasive weeds, gully erosion, compromised riparian vegetation and water quality, vertebrate pests and a decline in biodiversity, all of which have the potential to impact on farm productivity and profitability.
