Abstract
The development of tropical legume pastures suitable to the coastal zone of south-eastern -Queensland has been associated with dairying (Cassidy 1967). Where native pastures producing 28 kg/ha of butterfat have been replaced by these tropical legume pastures, increases to 145 kg/ha of butterfat have been recorded (P. Luck, personal communication). Payne ( 1963) considered that a good humid tropical pasture should support five dairy cows/ha.
