The use of temperate species in the Australian subtropics

KF Lowe

Abstract

Temperate species and tropical crop silage are the basis for forage production for the dairy industry in the Australian subtropics. Irrigation is the key resource needed for production, with little survival of temperate species under rain-grown conditions except for lucerne. Keywords: temperate grasses, clovers, lucerne, kikuyu,subtropics, irrigation
