Rhagodia a foder shrub with potential in wheat belt

摘要

A robust yet rather non-descript perennial shrub is generating interest among farmers in WAs Northern Agricultural Region. During severe drought in the WA wheatbelt, farmers noticed their sheep and cattle leaning over fences to eat a shrub on the other side. Ian Pulbrook, manager of Greenoil Tree Nurseries at Mingenew, noticed it too and asked fanners to send cuttings.
