The Phosphorus Efficient Pastures project TFS was involved with, commenced in late 2016 and was finalised in 2020 with the final reports made available in the last quarter of 2020. This project was part of a network of farmer participatory studies in temperate Australia aimed at examining the productivity, persistence and potential use of Serradella (Ornithopus spp.).
Simple experiments were conducted on two farms in the region one near Yass, the other near Bigga. The sites were used not only to provide valuable data but also as focal points for the groups participating in the experiments to learn about Serradella and efficient soil phosphorus management.
The final reports from this project are available below:
