Good management is key to success of Leucaena in northern grazing systems. Here’s some Top Tips from Leucaena Network on planting Leucaena
- Leucaena shouldn’t be planted in areas where rivers, creeks and flood channels can disperse seed pods or seed.
- Keep leucaena at least 20m away from external fence lines and maintain a buffer strip of strong grass pasture between leucaena plantings and creeks or boundary fences.
- Fully fence leucaena paddocks, and graze or cut leucaena to keep it within the reach of animals.
- Minimise seed set and chemically manage any ‘escapes’ with Access®.
