Evaluation of perennial pasture legumes and herbs to identify species with high herbage production and persistence in mixed farming zones in southern Australia (2008, unknown): “This species could be a suitable option in phased pasture-crop farming systems where a shortterm pasture phase is required (Cocks 2001) as a disease break or to increase soil N.”

(2006, background): “…in pastures; for example, in eastern Canada and western North America some sedges (Carex sp.) are recognized for their potential for use as forage for grazing (Uresk, 1986; Catling et al., 1994), and Kennedia species for introduction as food (Rivett et al., 1983) or pasture plants (Cocks, 2001).”
Temperate pasture legumes in Australia—their history, current use, and future prospects (2012, background): “…and Robson 1983), reduced tillage of cropping lands and increased use of herbicides (Powles and Yu 2010), and the planting of trees and increased use of perennial pasture plants to reduce soil erosion and the spread of dryland salinity (Cocks 2001; Dear et al. 2003a, 2008; Dear and Ewing 2008).”
