2025-03-21 12:30 - 13:30 (Australia/Brisbane) | Online, Australia
A practical conversation on pasture dieback with Advancing Beef Leaders.
The Advancing Beef Leaders (ABL) program is a tailored leadership and professional development program for emerging beef producers and rural community leaders.

Pasture dieback is a condition the causes unthrifty growth and premature death of otherwise productive tropical and sub-tropical grass pastures.
In this BeefConnect webinar, join the team of ABL participants who will be hosting an hour of conversation and discussion on the topic of pasture dieback. Joining them will be the DPI’s pasture dieback team (from across Queensland) to help answer the practical ‘on-farm’ questions that usually arise within dieback conversations.
Both teams will include in their discussions:
• A background on pasture dieback (its predisposing causes, its spread, pasture symptoms, susceptible vs tolerant grasses and the latest research), and
• The practical management questions and conversations…
i. Will I get pasture dieback – how do I know?
ii. What can be done about pasture dieback?
iii. How is pasture dieback different to pasture rundown?
iv. Who can I contact about pasture dieback?
v. And many more…including a Q&A session (for you to ask your question).
The collaborative approach of this webinar is designed to support the ABL participants, graziers and others within the beef industry.
Register now to join the webinar… and don’t forget to submit your pasture dieback question while registering to be used for Q&A time!
