Optimising nitrogen from legumes to reduce emissions in grassland farming
Project Background
NUE-Leg will combine novel legume-genetics with elite rhizobia, supported by exclusive prescription fertiliser approaches, to overcome limitations impeding widespread legume-dependent livestock production.
Project Partners
Industry Leaders
Project NUE-Leg has brought together the leading agricultural minds from science, industrial research, food production, and other sectors.
