dc.description.abstract	Salinity can lead to salt scalds in pastures and erosion if left untreated, but some landowners are reluctant to address the issue because of a perceived lack of an economic benefit. There is a need to demonstrate the productive potential of saline lands. The following observations were undertaken to benchmark the performance of pastures sown in a remedial role on moderately saline land (soil salinity (ECE) at 0-10 cm and at 10-60 cm was 3.5 and 7.0 dS/m, respectively; Southwell, 1999).
