Meredith Mitchell

Mitchell has participated in a number of multi-disciplinary teams, collaborating with agricultural scientists from different state departments and universities throughout Australia.

This research has involved national germplasm by environment trials on a range of both native (NLIGN)[4][5][6] and introduced species.

[12][13][14][15] The thesis addressed the underlying ecology of the species and examines those attributes which allow it to be sustained and increased in grazed native pastures.

[16][17] EverGraze is seeking to develop new farming systems for the high rainfall zone (>550 mm) based on deep rooted perennial pastures that significantly increase wool and livestock producers' profits, while stabilising or enhancing natural resource management (NRM) outcomes.

This research has focused on the effects of grazing management on the production, botanical composition and nutritive characteristics of perennial native pastures using a breeding merino ewes.
