Current and recent Research Funding to JCU is shown by funding source and project.
CRC for Developing Northern Australia Scheme - Projects
Improving the productivity of the Northern Australian livestock sector with the establishment of new legumes varieties
- Indicative Funding
- $360,000 over 3 years (administered by Agrimix Pty Ltd)
- Summary
- Pasture legumes are quality feed and have benefits for livestock and the environment but few sown legumes are adapted to the vast clay soil regions of the north. JCU has 5 new varieties specifically developed for this region. The project aims is to: ? Evaluate establishment techniques for these new legumes ? Conduct grazing, pen, plot and soil trials evaluating new varieties ? Demonstrate the benefits of legumes in terms of enhance livestock productivity ? Undertake climate risk analysis ? Engage students with a research focus on nutrition, soils and livestock productivity Uptake of legume technology will result in significant economic, environmental & social benefits
