'TALKIN AFTER HOURS': A FREE WORKSHOP & NETWORKING BBQ
The Benefits & Importance of Biodiversity in Pastures
Plant diversity is now recognised as a major influence on nutrient cycling in pastures. Having several plant species in a system fills niches, increases the chances of including a productive species, and if a stress occurs, a stress tolerant species can grow.
Our next ‘Talkin’ After Hours explores this critical topic, its importance & how to achieve it. This work shop will give you an insight and understanding of:
How biodiversity can affect pasture production
How many and which species should ideally make up your pasture mix
New species available for use in diversifying pastures
Optimal sowing time for different pasture species
