After quadrats are taken in the paddock. The samples are then taken back to the laboratory where each piece is separated by species. This allows us to look at what plants are present in different treatments and times of the year

Cutting quadrats for species composition . In this we are looking to see what our different treatments (sowing rate, grazing vs non, residual left and species sown) had on species composition

First set of small plot trials have been coming to an end so measured dry matter, water infiltration rate, and species composition plus soil carbon, and rate of cotton disappearance

The weather has allowed us to sow down the next set of trial plots that will be used to compare the effect of harvest residual and frequency of harvest of a diverse species mix and a ryegrass clover mix. In addition, we have sown another set of farmlets to compare a...

Soil carbons are measured using 600mm cores. Each core is then divided into 100mm segments down the core.

Each month plots are harvested at either 8 or 20 cm. The amount of forage harvested is recorded and then a subsample is dried so that we can calculate dry matter production. Seasonally we also collect a sample for Brix and chemical composition
