Summary

Priorities for research and development into the health of southern Australian pastures were identified from reviews of the scientific literature and from a survey of experienced agronomists. Reseach areas considered were pests, diseases and rhizobial function. Six high priority areas were selected from a wider range of issues identified. The need to maintain key research functions and improving the skills and knowledge of agronomists and producers is also highlighted.
