Productive pastures play an important role in the traditional mixed farming areas of temperate Australia. Whether in a continuous cropping programme or intensive cropping in conjunction with livestock enterprise — pastures, especially well managed legume or lucerne pastures, contribute significantly to the success of rotational cropping systems.

Woody weeds are difficult to control in many pasture situations. Their persistent nature often means that total control cannot be achieved in a single herbicide application, and a programmed approach needs to be employed.
