Join the Department of Primary Industries (DPI) sown pastures team for the second of a 2-part webinar series on legume establishment across Queensland. This second webinar focusses on establishing legumes into existing grass pastures in the monsoonal zone of northern Queensland.
 Progardes Desmanthus pasture legume in Central Queensland. Beef cattle grazing on native pastures is the key land use in the seasonally dry zone of north Queensland but animal productivity is limited by poor feed supply during the extended dry season. Incorporating legumes into grass pastures has been shown to increase returns through improving the diet over the year, but adoption of this practice has remained low. Recent research by the Queensland Government and Meat & Livestock Australia has focussed on the development of legume/grass ‘production paddocks’ on a range of land types to target the nutrition of key livestock classes (e.g. weaners and steers). These systems are highly productive and profitable, but successful adoption by graziers depends on reliable and affordable establishment of legumes. In this BeefConnect webinar, join Dr Kendrick Cox (DPI Principal Pasture Scientist), when he discusses the case for investing in legume pastures and describes a range of methods and considerations to reliably establish pasture legumes into native and sown grass pastures under a range of situations in the northern tropics of Queensland. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar. Register now to join the webinar!
