Abstract: The aim of this project was to develop stable, low erosion risk farming systems based on alternative pasture species. Two separate strategies were followed. One was to evaluate a wide range of species and the second was to investigate the agronomy, management, establishment and economics of tagasaste (Chamaesytisus palmensis). Initially 52 species or cultivars were evaluated. The 18 most promisisng of these were then sown in 3 larger trials in 1991 (Gillingarra, Lancelin and Bibby Springs). Dry matter pro ction, persistence and seed yield (annuals) were measured over the next two seasons. There were large differences between the 1991 sites. The most productive site was at Gillingarra which receives the least rain. Arrowleaf clover was the most productive
