Morven trial site walk

Join Holbrook Landcare Network for a paddock walk and talk at the Morven trial site.

About the site

Liming treatments were applied at the Morven site in 2019, and grew wheat and canola crops until 2022. In spring 2023 it was sown to various perennial pasture mixes.

Topics for discussion

• Acid soil management – What impact has lime had on soil pH since 2019? Findings from other local lime demonstration sites.
• Serradella for permanent pasture – Role of serradella, cultivar options, establishment and persistence.
• High performance pastures – Examining the effect of liming strategy on spring-sown pastures including lucerne, chicory, phalaris, strawberry clover and serradella.
• Pasture persistence - Maximising long-term persistence and production of pastures.
