Serradellas for New Environments

GLENRAC is part of a national project with CSIRO to participate in a new project ‘Serradellas for new environments’. The project is funded by Meat and Livestock Australia and involves researchers from CSIRO, NSW DPI and the Tasmanian Institute of Agriculture.

Serradellas present many potential benefits for mixed pastures including providing high quality dry matter, fixing nitrogen and lowering the requirement for phosphorus fertiliser relative to subterranean clover. Serradellas also have a low bloat risk and low oestrogenic activity and are adapted to both sandy and duplex soil types.

The project aims to develop serradellas as viable legume options for permanent pasture systems in south-eastern Australia. Current research activities aim to identify the cultivars and agronomy required to successfully establish serradellas in permanent pasture systems.

GLENRAC is now seeking expressions of interest to host a serradella Producer Demonstration Site locally. The total site area would range from 50 x 50 m up to 100 x 100 m and have prior weed control.

The sites would be run under normal farm management and did not require separate fencing but did require the area to be closed to grazing to allow establishment and seed set. The sites, sown in Autumn 2024, will be monitored by the project team for a 1-3-year period.

If you would be interested in hosting a site, please contact Eliza James or Kylie Falconer on 02 6732 3443 or eliza.james@glenrac.org.au
