Abstract

Sown pasture grasses are very productive when planted after clearing or into fertile cropping soils. However, over time dry matter production and animal performance decline as soil nitrogen availability to pasture grasses declines, a phenomenon often described as "pasture rundown" or more correctly "nitrogen tie-up". This paper discusses the large industry interest in this issue and the management options graziers deem to be the most appropriate for dealing with nitrogen tie-up.
