Research Question

The how do I get more sub clover package will provide producers and advisors with a simple diagnostic approach to assess clover pastures, identify the leading reasons for possible sub clover decline and what management practices are available to address these limitations.  The package expands on past knowledge with updated information from MLA Feedbase research on performance of new clover cultivars, critical phosphorus levels to maintain clover, cultivar susceptibility to soil borne diseases, impacts of residual herbicides and soil acidity on nodulation and appropriate grazing management to maximise seed set and hard seed breakdown.
