Summary

​This project funded data collection on the effects of dew composition on pasture growth, following up some potentially interesting results in a PIRD trial. The project involved replicated collection at 4 geographically separated sites in SW Victoria of pasture production with and without Dew falling on the pasture, as well as analysing certain elements and pH of Dew and Rainfall.
