This project seeks to improve the evidence base and modelling capacity underpinning
recommendations for the use of wet season spelling to recover poor condition grazing land and design more reliable and cost-effective spelling options for producers across northern Australia. Our research now has four years of information from the Monteagle site near Clermont, and two years from the Wambiana site south of Charters Towers. Spelling has produced a small, yet significant improvement in perennial grass basal area at Monteagle when compared to grazing at a moderate stocking rate. This improvement . . . . .
