Let the light in: Better grazing for stronger clover
If clover is important to you: White clover is a big part of the engine room of productive dairy pastures, supplying high-quality feed and when inoculated it is naturally fixing atmospheric nitrogen back into the soil. Many pastures lose clover over time—not because it isn’t suited to the paddock, but because it simply isn’t receiving enough light over the calendar year. All clovers are sensitive to shading. As ryegrass grows through winter and into spring, dense pasture canopies prevent sunlight from reaching the base of the sward where clover stolons and growing points are located. Without regular light, clover struggles to spread, compete and persist. White clover responds quickly White clover, like Mantra Large Leaf White Clover, is extremely responsive […]

Maize Growers Guide for southern Australian farmers
Due to rapid advances in plant breeding technology, plant protection and management expertise, the last decade has seen significant increases to the yield potential and stress tolerance of corn. For many farmers producing corn for silage production in southern Australia, the potential exists to increase profits. There are many important factors which will contribute to this. The yield potential of corn will vary between districts and farms because of planting date, water availability, sunlight, soil structure, soil fertility and a decision to get back to pasture in Autumn. Yield potential will also vary between seasons at the same site depending on the season (e.g. heat wave, drought), as well as choice of hybrid, sowing time and other associated management decisions […]
