The productivity decline of improved grass pastures

Declining pasture productivity due to rundown – what is it and how can we address it?

The depletion of sown pasture growth due to rundown has reduced beef production by over 50%, and will cost the northern Australian beef industry more than $17 billion over the next 30 years. In this webinar, Brian Johnson and Stuart Buck from the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries Sown Pasture Team will outline the causes, common symptoms and management strategies to combat sown pasture rundown. Sown pasture rundown is not a new phenomenon, however recent analysis demonstrates a range of management options can have a positive economic impact on beef businesses.
