Description
Date on monthly and annual pasture production for use in farm budgeting, in farm management models and at the core of expert systems are rare for large areas of the Australian pastoral zone, and for large areas of the world. We have sought here to demonstrate a method of .overcoming this problem by the development of maps of annual and seasonal herbage accumulation for several types of improved pasture in the Hunter Region using comprehensive climatic data, a simple growth model (Fitzpatrick and Nix, 1975) and a small plot pasture trial at Scone (32°S).
