Abstract
Results show that Progardes Desmanthus can increase cattle growth rates compared to improved buffel grass pastures on a Gidgee clay soil in a semi-arid environment in NW Queensland. Growth rates over the 4 years ranged from 0.6 to 0.9 kg/hd/day in the Progardes legume treatment v 0.5 to 0.8 kg/hd/day on the the control grass treatment paddock.
