Temperate pasture legumes in Australia—their history, current use, and future prospects (2012, background): “2Mha in southern and subtropical areas of Australia (Robertson 2006) and is used directly for grazing and for the production of high-quality fodder (mainly hay) (Lodge 1991; Irwin et al. 2001; Lattimore 2008).”
Achievements and Challenges in Improving Temperate Perennial Forage Legumes (2015, background): “This can be counteracted by deploying a diversity of resistances in new varieties through the development of molecular markers closely linked to resistance genes, as already pursued for anthracnose and phytophthora root rot by alfalfa breeding for sub-tropical Queensland (Irwin et al., 2001).”
Breeding lucerne for persistence (2012, methodology): “This role as a major crop should continue to increase the need for breeding new cultivars for the diverse and challengingAustralian environments (Venkatanagappa 2008).”
