Description
This project investigated using legumes to improve degraded pastures and made recommendations about targeting research, development and extension to enhance their productivity and reliability of establishment.
This project commenced in 2012 but was terminated early due to significant challenges with plant germination and establishment, primarily attributed to adverse seasonal conditions over the several years of the project.
