商品簡介
The text, for graduate students in agronomy, pastoral science, and land management, replaces Pastures: their ecology and management (1990). It outlines the principles of plant growth and development and their influence on the productive potential of agricultural plants, and examines the effects of the environment, soil fertility, and competition among pastures and crops. Also covered are pasture species, their establishment and management, and the efficient conversion of plants to animal products (in the context of livestock farming in New Zealand). The editors note that the text is also suitable for use in regions and countries whose climates are similar to New Zealand's, such as southern Australia and South America. Annotation c.
