Temperate grasses and tropical crops are important for making food for dairy cows in the Australian subtropics. To grow these plants well, farmers need to use irrigation, especially because temperate species don't do well with just rainwater, except for lucerne. Key words for this topic include temperate grasses, clovers, lucerne, kikuyu, subtropics, and irrigation.
