Abstract

Over the period 1953-1963 with full utilization of pasture by cattle but not in self-contained farmlets, the production of irrigated pasture from December to March inclusive was about 8000 kg DM/ha. Under full utilization but on self-contained units, which necessitated high grazing pressures, production during the four summer months fell to 6000 kg DM/ha. White clover became dominant and perennial ryegrass was drastically thinned out. Likely steps to overcome this problem are discussed.
