Open full text 2 citations

Abstract

The successful management of livestock grazing pasture under a tree canopy requires an understanding of the interaction between the trees and pasture. Because of the constraints with the trees there are a number of agricultural management factors requiring special consideration. Details are given on the potential for early grazing soon after tree planting, as well as special requirements in the management of both livestock and pasture. Keywords: Pinus radiata; agroforestrv; forest farming; early grazing; weed control; livestock production.
