Growing red meat productivity through the selection and establishment of perennial legumes – TAS (Webpage)
This Tasmanian Institute of Agriculture (TIA) webpage gives an overview of a 5-year research project aimed at enhancing the legume component of pastures, and improving productivity and resilience for Tasmanian red meat producers. The research focused on selecting and establishing legume species that persist in pasture and improve livestock performance by providing high-quality feed and biologically fixing nitrogen. The webpage includes grazier case studies and a publication: Optimising perennial pasture legumes – Learnings from the Growing red meat productivity through the selection and establishment of perennial legumes. While research focused on Tasmania, it may be relevant to other legume-growing regions.#
This is a carefully curated database of important soil resources. The data base is not exhaustive but rather a library of the resources we believe are the most useful for the audience. Each resource has been added after careful consideration against our selection criteria, including but not limited to its scientific validity, accessibility, and readability. The library generally does not include most academic research papers but may include some open-source papers written in accessible English.
