PRESENT AND FUTURE TRENDS IN GRASSLAND RESEARCH IN NEW ZEALAND

L. Corkill

Abstract

PASTURE PRODUCTION is logically measured in terms of grazing animals supported by that pasture. A simple calculation based on stock numbers and area in grassland in New Zealand shows that over the last forty years carrying capacity has increased from 1.4 to 3.2 "sheep units" per acre, or 130% (N.Z. Official Year Book).
