Pasture dieback trials field day — Theodore

Join Applied Horticultural Research at a trial site at Theodore to view and discuss results from the pasture dieback trials.

Pasture dieback continues to cause major feed losses across Australia, creating a need for practical management strategies to help producers maintain feed supply and reduce production impacts. While longer-term solutions are still being pursued, field trials established five years ago have provided insights into approaches that may improve pasture performance and resilience in dieback-affected areas. Sharing these results helps to support informed management decisions.

Complimentary beverages will be provided. Please bring a chair and a hat.

Topics will include:

• Management of pasture dieback – best bets.

• Walkthrough of trials – results five years after establishment.

• Producer experiences with dieback.

• Role and biology of mealybug in dieback.

• How to identify and monitor for mealybug.

Guest speakers

Attendees will hear from:

• Naomi Diplock, Lead researcher for pasture dieback trials (AHR)
• Gordon Rogers, Managing director (AHR)
• Caroline Hauxwell, Associate professor (Queensland University of Technology).
