THE PRESENT METHODS OF PASTURE ESTABLISHMENT

Abstract

CULTIVATION and the placement of seed in a suitable environment in which to germinate and establish is as much an art as it is a science. While the components of such a seedbed can be modified scientifically, their identification and the selection of the most suitable sowing technique in a field situation are seldom aided by objective measurements. The choice of which technique to implement in any one situation requires judgement acquired mainly from experience.
