Pasture Production and Management
About Us
The Pasture Production and Management Group conducts research that supports the development and management of resilient and sustainable pasture systems. The group seek to solve real-world problems that will ultimately improve the grazing feedbase on which our livestock industries depend. Specific areas of research include: pasture agronomy, ecology, nutrition and management. We have undertaken research in both temperate and tropical grazing systems, with a particular focus on understanding and managing legumes in mixed pasture swards. However, we have broad interests that span the soil-plant-animal components and interfaces of the grazing system.
Our current research includes the following areas: Enquiries from prospective Honours, Masters and PhD students are always welcome. We are keen to hear from anyone who has an interest in pasture production and management, and wants to work as part of a research group who are actively involved in optimising the feedbase of Australian grazing systems.
