Progardes Desmanthus seeded behind a stick rake in 2019. Plant population has increased each year, and now really coming away after a good wet last season. Tara Station, near Cloncurry. #progardes #desmanthus

Hear from DAF’s leading researchers and see trial results at the Pasture Dieback Field Day, 2 June from 9-11 am. https://t.co/rObw7hnggs

[Agrimix @AgrimixPastures]

Agrimix Agronomist Zac Geldof spoke to @thelandnews recently on legumes and grasses for dieback affected country in northern NSW. Progardes Desmanthus is an excellent fit for dieback areas with heavy clay content and neutral to alkaline pH. #progardes

Fantastic field day held in Casino, NSW with a great line up of speakers discussing pasture improvement strategies - legumes, grasses, broadleaf weed control, drone demonstrations, pasture dieback mgt, soil carbon sequestration and sustainability

[Agrimix @AgrimixPastures]

@DAFQld report recently released found that pasture improvement practices and including legumes in pasture in nutrient-poor, seasonally dry grasslands in northern Australia can increase soil carbon sequestration. Read more: https://t.co/8Nvv77SxUU

Still on the fence about #sowing #Progardes® Desmanthus? This might change your mind. Here is a cultivar from the Progardes® blend, which was sown in North #QLD in summer 2019. Mulched 95 days after germination it produced more than 20 tonnes of dm/ha. https://t.co/PtvPaG5tOw

Measuring soil #carbonchanges in real time is closer thanks to @meatlivestock investing in #agtech. Agrimix and @QUT are developing a cheap & accurate way to measure soil carbon using flux towers. Giving #producers the tools to enter the carbon market. https://t.co/DK2GebVfkC

Progardes® #silage may be an option for the #Northern Australian beef industry. Trial results from @jcu showed #Progardes® silage had higher #protein and energy compared to forage #sorghum and equivalent levels to #Lucerne. More 📖 https://t.co/uTeN8IM2ZA

We love #success stories! Gary Stark from Forest Hill, was surprised at how easy it was to introduce #Progardes® Desmanthus into an already established #pasture. He says growth has been excellent with the good seasonal conditions. https://t.co/RihymiFOZ3

[Agrimix @AgrimixPastures]

Manage these risks for #successful #Progardes® Desmanthus establishment.
Follow up rain, Monsoonal weather- conserve rain and manage weeds, Low rainfall area faecal #seeding with hard seed, Avoid heat wave conditions, Planting too close to a frost. More 👉 https://t.co/0OdLHoCj1U
