To improve the understanding of the nitrogen contributions from pasture legumes to wheat under different management conditions.
Key messages
Further examination is necessary to determine to what degree winter cleaning in the final pasture year will improve the nitrogen status of the soil.
These conclusions will need to be verified over several more seasons before reliable relationships can be confirmed.
