Abstract

Commercially, small seeded legumes have not established reliably in sown grass pastures. Although good establishment is recognised as critical to the long term productivity and persistence of legumes, most producers use low-cost and low-reliability establishment techniques such as broadcasting after either no or minimal pasture disturbance (e.g. fire) or severe soil disturbance and a rough seed bed behind a blade plough. This paper reports results from 6 legume establishment trials.
