Description
The changes in the yield and botanical composition after the sowing of grass and legume species into cleared native woodland in 2 longterm grazing trials are presented and discussed. Soil fertility, rainfall and method of establishment all affected pasture composition. Increasing the soil fertility through phosphate application was necessary for sustained production of sown grass and also improved legume performance.
