Abstract

Although good establishment is recognised as critical to the long term persistence of legumes, many producers don’t think they can afford to use more expensive seedbed preparation to allow establishment. Several producers and advisors in the pasture seed industry have suggested that increasing seeding rates, but still sowing with no seed bed preparation, will improve the reliability of establishing legumes into sown grass pastures. This paper reports the results of a legume seeding rate trial.
