Pasture restoration improvement methods for temperate degraded pastures and consequences of the climatic seasonality on soil–pasture complex

Abstract:

Short persistence of renovated pastures is a major problem for pastoral production systems. Pasture species establishment, species performance and persistency and their relationships with soil–water attributes following pasture improvement methods were evaluated over two years. Fertilised naturalised pasture (FNP), non‐fertilised naturalised pasture (NFNP), Lolium perenne–Trifolium repens cultivated pasture (CP), L. perenne–T. repens direct‐drilled pasture (DP), and Bromus valdivianus, Holcus lanatus, Dactylis glomerata, L. perenne and T. repens direct‐drilled pasture (DDP) were established as a randomised complete block design. Pastures were limed, fertilised and sheep‐grazed. Plant growth compensatory mechanisms, by decreasing tiller number and increasing tiller size, equalised pasture yield during the establishment. In both years, the improved pastures yield was greater than that of NFNP. In the …
