Description
Two microcomputer-based predictive pasture models, for use in decision making by agricultural consultants and industry, are described. The first model (GRASS) was developed to understand the interactions between environment and management. The second model supplies pasture growth rates for current or predicted weather conditions by adjustment of stored actual average fortnightly pasture growth rates for a wide range of measurement sites. Ways are described in which the models are being used in transfer of technology.
