Background Unveiling the diversity of plant strategies to acquire and use phosphorus (P) is
crucial to understand factors promoting their coexistence in hyperdiverse P-impoverished …

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is the most valuable perennial forage crop, and assessing its
yield and quality properties is essential to evaluate forage value of livestock production …

In Australia, 71% of agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are enteric methane
(CH4), mostly produced by grazing sheep and cattle. Temperate low CH4 yielding legumes …

Because phosphorus (P) is one of the most limiting nutrients in agricultural systems, P
fertilisation is essential to feed the world. However, declining P reserves demand far more …

Aims Root colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) enhances plant growth and
the symbiosis can play a major role in enhancing drought tolerance of host plants. Our aim …

Context Serradellas (Ornithopus spp.) are promising alternative annual legumes to
subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum L.), for permanent, temperate pastures …

Context Improving the stability of legumes in grasslands in the face of variable seasonal
conditions is key to mitigating risks posed by drought. Aims We assessed the persistence of …

An improved ability to predict pasture dry matter (DM) yield response to applied phosphorus
(P), potassium (K) and sulfur (S) is a crucial step in determining the production and …

This review examines the prospect of improving perennial legume adaptation to grazed
mixed pasture swards across the higher-altitude regions of south-eastern Australia through …

Context Opportunity exists to expand serradella (Ornithopus spp.) use onto heavier, duplex
soil types in permanent pasture environments of south-eastern Australia. This requires …
