Managing native pastures for improved animal production and biodiversity

Traditionally, native pastures in the hill areas of the Mid North of South Australia are continuously grazed at the same time each year (usually from the autumn break in May until harvest in December) to fit in with the cropping program. Over time, this has reduced the population of native perennial grasses and produced pastures dominated by undesirable annual grasses such as wild oats and barley grass. Valuable data about the impact of the new grazing regime was provided to woolgrowers and (more)...
