Evaluation Of New Pasture Legume Species In Terms Of Summer Feeding Value And Effects On Wool Production., S E. Flecker, C W. Thorn, J. B. Rowe, Tess Casson

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

86KA71, Pasture legumes improve the feeding value of summer pastures in a mediterranean-type environment by maintaining the protein intake of grazing animals over the dry summer period, much of which comes from the ingestion of legume burr (A.D. Wilson and N.L. Hindley, 1968). Some of the most important species of pasture legumes to have been released commercially are Trifolium subterraneum (sub.clover), Medicago truncatula (barrel medic) and Medicago polymorpha (burr medic) (D.B. Purser, G.B. Taylor and W.J. Collins, 1987). What little information is available on the feeding value of these species suggests that barrel medic pod (H. Brownlee, 1973) and dry …

To provide data for different production systems to increase the scope of the simulation models.

Harvested And Grazed Lupin Stubbles On Following Wheat South Carrabin., J W. Bowden

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Location: South Carrabin lease block

Harvested and grazed lupin stubbles on following wheat. Trial 86M8

This trial is difficult to analyze statistically because of the treatment changes induced by sheep breaking in to some of the plots. Further, lupin grain yields were not very high and so differences between harvested and unharvested treatments are not large. Also the grazing intensity was not very severe (except on the unintentionally grazed plots) and so the effect of grazing is also relatively small.

Trial 65SG5. Location - Paddock H5 on Salmon Gum Research Station

Cleared in 1962, then cropped until the start of the trial in 1968. Two of the four blocks were sown to Cyprus Barrel medic which is topdressed with superphosphate. The other two blocks regenerate volunteer pasture which is not topdressed. In 1984 all pasture plots were sown to SERENA medic. This grew exceptionally well in 1984 and set a lot of seed. In 1987 field peas were introduced into 4 reps of an existing medic: crop rotation.
