Summary
The Pasture Variety Trial site projects were completed with final reports in June 2015. The advisory committee has supported 4 sites to be maintained for a persistence study; with very low level inputs. Protocols are being developed and costed, and then contracted. However, spring management (grazing, weed spray or mowing) is required now to enable continuity to a persistence study. Tasks have been described for site managers and a budget limit (1-2 days). The CMA is to pay for 1-2 days work at 4 sites by separate site managers (NSW, Vic Tas) for required spring and summer actions. This CMA is to pay invoices received in late 2015-16.
