cultivation to ensure thorough mixing of seeds in the. MAP was applied to the paddock prior to the prickle chain pass at 80kg/ha to align with district practice. The following seeding rates were used Treatment Sowing Rate Sulla (Wilpena and Moonbi ) Sulla @ 8 kg/ha Sulla Mix (Wilpena or Moonbi) + Moorava Vetch Sulla @ 8 kg/ha plus Vetch @ 60 kg/ha Medic Mix (Paragio, Cavalier, Herald, Caliph) Medic @ 4 kg/ha Barley (Moby and Scope) Barley @ 70kg/ha During the year the paddock was treated, as a commercial pasture paddock would be with grasses removed by an application of a grass selective herbicide. The paddock was also top dressed with urea at 90kg/ha on the ( ) . In each block an area of 10m by 10m was fenced to prevent sheep from grazing part of the paddock. This allowed the effect of grazing on final biomass production to be quantified. The paddock was stocked with 300 ewes from late July to early August. The stocking rate was high at around 12 DSE/ha.
