Preying on pasture pests with biodiversity.

Over 2 years, Melbourne Water in partnership with Orchard End Farm has been looking at management practices that can be used to reduce problem pasture pests such as Lucerne Flea & Red Legged Earth Mite.   Pasture invertebrate pests can be mis-diagnosed and therefore control measures often don’t solve the problem.

​This event will be held in the paddock so participants can look at the multi-species crop, discuss the results from moving away from traditional pasture to diverse cover crops, grazing management of the multi-species and next phase to restore a degraded paddock to a ‘biodiversity haven’ for insectivorous birds and predatory beneficial insects.

Mon 25th March, 10:30-1:00pm
