Lucerne-cropping Systems

Background

For sustainable wool production to continue in the semi-intensive winter rainfall cropping areas, increased fodder production per ha. per mm. rainfall is needed. 

Objectives of the study

• Feasibility of overseeding dryland lucerne in terms of seasonal fodder production.
• Decision making on crop specie/s most suitable for overseeding dryland lucerne.
• Evaluating the quality of fodder produced by the oversown pasture.
