Notes

Jacksonia scoparia is used in rehabilitation work to a small degree however it could be utilised far more and has many good qualities including its nitrogen fixing abilities. Production has been hampered in the past by problems understanding timing for collection and a reasonable amount of monitoring will be required. Otherwise, the seed is simple to clean.
