Abstract

Most forage plants tested in rangelands will probably not be commercialised for some reason. A formal journal publication is also unlikely from most evaluation trials. Without that, future generations will be denied the results unless a computerised database exists to summarise the data. To have confidence in the results, staff must also maintain the work for many years - at considerable cost. The chances to repeat or embellish earlier work will be few in the foreseeable future.
QPASTURES is a database which records structured summaries for any plant evaluation work conducted in Queensland. It is online on the Queensland DPI computer network and available to anyone with access to that network or by arrangement with QDPI staff.
