Download Assessing persistence of mixed pasture

This fact sheet details an SFF project aimed at gathering information about the performance of pastures comprising a range of pasture species, including tall fescue, timothy, cocksfoot, herbs such as plantain and chicory, and legumes such as red clover, subclover and lucerne. A survey of pastures on commercial farms and at DairyNZ’s Hamilton campus were done and the responses of a range of pastures to invasion of weed grasses, yellow bristle grass and summer grass, were examined.
