Vegetational Survey Of Management Pastures In New Zealand, T.R O. Field
Vegetational Survey Of Management Pastures In New Zealand, T.R O. Field
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Much of New Zealand's improved grassland was first sown between 1880 and 1920 during a period of extensive forest clearance and bush burning. Economic signals encouraged further periods of expansion until the early 1980's. Although good statistics exist covering the expansion of improved grasslands, Hilgendorf (1935) and Madden (1940) provided the only extensive information about the floristic make-up of established pastures. They mapped the grasslands of the South and North Islands respectively, with Madden estimating the area of his various pasture types. In the 50 years since this work agriculture has intensified with the advent of aerial topdressing and the …

Compilation And Study Of Grassland Resource Map Of China (Scale- 1: 1,000,000), Su Daxue
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
For compilation of Grassland Ressource Map of China (GRMC), it was necessary first of all to collect reliable data which is accurate and fairly up-to-date. A national standard of grassland classification and legend system must be worked out. Content, method and level of representation must be made standard. Criteria must be set for integration, inclusions or omissions in the map units. China's vast grasslands stretch over areas totalling 1,5 billion hectares. No standard survey had been carried out before. Basic data and maps needed for compilation of GRMC on scale 1 : 1,000,000 was lacking. Thus beginning in 1979, largescale …

Monitoring Of Weed Infestation Of Grasslands Using Landsat Data, T Akiyama, Y Yamagata, M Saibayama, H Hayashi, H Fujita
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Pennisetum alopecuroides Spreng is one of the most aggressive weeds of tame pastures in the Aso district, which often causes the deterioration of the grasslands. It is thus important to develop methods of analysis of the weed dynamics in real time and techniques for effective weed control. Hayashi et al. (1986) observed that cutting carried out in September was the most effective method to prevent the growth of the weed. However, the vegetation survey methods currently used cannot monitor sudden changes of grassland vegetation over wide areas. Remote sensing is one of the promising techniques for monitoring grasslands where the …

Using Landsat Images For Grassland Mapping In The Inner-Mongolia Of China, Mao Zan-You
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
There are about 900 000 km2 grassland in Inner-Mongolia including meadow steppe, typical steppe and desert steppe. It is the major basis of herbivorous animal products - beef, mutton, milk and leather (Fig. 1). Grassland research had been made many times in InnerMongolia region. Because the area is so vast that it needs ten more years to accomplish a general survey of grassland only applying satellite data can supply the macroscopic thematic maps for basic construction of grassland in shorter time. Besides supplying feed to the animals, the grassland has the important action for the improvement of regional environment, water …

The Application Of Remote Sensing To Grassland Resource Survey Of The Counties In China, Chang Xiao-Guo, Xia Jing-Xin, Chia Shen-Siu
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
The application of remote sensing techniques to grassland resource surveys of the counties is a key task and will play a significant role in the rational use of grassland resources. Since 1980, we have mainly studied the application of visual interpretation techniques to the surveys on 18 countries, Inner Mongolia and Hebei Provinces, in the north of China. Comprehensively utilizing several remote sensing materials, quantitatively analysing the samples with mathematical stat i��tics, a method of remote sensing survey, which is comparatively faster, more economical, easier for extension and suitable for the county-level surveys, has been found. An example of the …

Land Use And Land Degredation In Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China, By Means Of Remote Sensing, Zhao Ji, Fan Weihong
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
The Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region is located in northern Chi:t).a and characterized by a semi-arid climate. Most of the area is used as pasture land, although a small part in the south is used as agricultural land to meet the need of food for the r��sidents. In recent years, the land is becoming degradated and its _environment becoming more sensitive to the climatic changes and the influence of human activity than it was before. This is, in part, due to the original productive pattern and irrational utilization of land. In this stu��y, remote sensing technique which is a very effec. …

A Preliminary Study On The Relationships Between Biomass And Environmental Factors In Natural Grassland In Hulunbeir, Pan Xueqing, Li Zhangchum, Lu Xinlong
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
The seasonal dynamic state of the above ground biomass (or herbage mass) of four main types of natural grassland were studied in Hulunbeir grassland. The four types were meadow steppe, Aneurolepidium chinense + Stipa grandis steppe, Aneurolepidium chinense steppe and tussock - small semi - shrubs steppe. The results of the research show that the herbage mass of all four types have strong positive correlations with the monthly accumulated temperature, mean temperature, and precipitation of the preceding month. Water is a major limiting factor to primary production in Hulunbeir grassland. This paper reports on the relationship between seasonal state of …

Les especes dominantes des prairies presentent souvent une grande plasticite phenotypique dont les manifestations les plus spectaculaires au plan fourrager sont les changements du port, du volume relatif des organes et de la phenologie (Hedin, 1945; Hayne, 1983). L'amplitude de ces variations dans une meme region est mal connue. On peut done se demander dans quelle mesure elles remettent en cause la valeur indicatrice habituellement attribuee a ce type d'especes, en outre, s'il n'est pas utile de chercher a codifier la morphologie des dominantes, pour ameliorer les diagnostics agronomiques. Ce texte contient des reflexions autour de ces themes. 11 s'appuie …

IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Date on monthly and annual pasture production for use in farm budgeting, in farm management models and at the core of expert systems are rare for large areas of the Australian pastoral zone, and for large areas of the world. We have sought here to demonstrate a method of .overcoming this problem by the development of maps of annual and seasonal herbage accumulation for several types of improved pasture in the Hunter Region using comprehensive climatic data, a simple growth model (Fitzpatrick and Nix, 1975) and a small plot pasture trial at Scone (32°S).

IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Climatic and edaphic aspects have been worldwide considered as the main limiting factors for forage production. Plant distribution is highly influenced by edaphic and climatic effects (Humphreys, 1981). In the same way researchers states that the rate of growth of pasture plants is expressed in dry matter production which is a function of the net rate of photosynthesis influenced by climatic factors (Whiteman, 1980). The basic climatic features were put togheter to be expressed as the Multifactor Growth Index which relates light, temperature and moisture affecting the growth of forage plants (Fitzpatrick & Nix, 1970). Present work made an ecological …

Correlation Of Degree Days With Herbage Yields On California's Annual Grasslands, M R. George, W J. Clawson, C B. Wilson, R L. Willoughby, N K. Mcdougald
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Seasonal precipitation and temperature patterns play a significant role in Mediterranean grasslands, influencing within and between year variation in herbage production (Bentley and Talbot 1951, Rossiter 1966, Pitte and Heady 1978). Within the growing season, accumulated degree-days (AAD) which integrate season length with temperature should be an ideal index to herbage production in California's annual grasslands. This paper presents the simple correlations of seasonal herbage yield with ADD and proposes an efficient method of estimating seasonal herbage production profiles.
The Optimum Structure Of Forage Production On Stock-Farm In Gora (Poland), M Sc Zuzanna Sawicka
The Optimum Structure Of Forage Production On Stock-Farm In Gora (Poland), M Sc Zuzanna Sawicka
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
The main reason for undertaking this work is the decrease of cattle on stock-farms in Poland. This situation results from inappropriate structures of forage production and economic policies in agriculture. The stock-farm in Gora, situated in the center of Poland, is a middle classe farm, representing the above-mentioned problems. In many aspects, forage from grassland ought to be a dominant source of livestock feed, especially with regard to considerations of animal hygiene and organization of production. This work presents results of investigations on the optimum structure of forage production and economic aspects of profitable cattle breeding on a stockfarm in …

The Role Of Goats In New Zealand Hill Country Farming, D A. Clark, M G. Lambert
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
The predominant domesticated ruminants in New Zealand are sheep and cattle. However in the last decade other animal species have been incorporated into farming systems, particularly goats which have increased from 10 thousand to 1 million over that time. The motives for this change have primarily been economic ones, in an attempt by farmers to increase income and reduce costs. Goats provide direct financial returns to hill farmers through sale of fibre (mohair, cashgora, cashmere) and meat. In many instances however, the motivation has been one of reduction of weed control costs. Aspects of weed control, pasture response and grazing …

IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
A primary aim of agricultural enterprises is to make the most profitable use of their resources especially if they are scarce in order to attain a maximum of returns. In all sectors, and in grass management also, utilisation of resources can be intensified to the extent where the output value equals the costs of the last input unit. To achieve this, resources of the local enterprises are not sufficient. Therefore, the aim of our investigations is to find that point in the utilisation of different technologies where the last unit of resource returns a product of equal monetary value. Clearly, …

Forage Management: A Diagnosis Method, M Duru, J L. Fiorelli, S Lardon, J C. Moreau, P L. Osty
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
On commercial farms, grazing and forage stock management is especially complex because of the great number of variables that have to be controlled (animal performances, resource stocks ... ), of their inter-relationships and of weather perturbations. Our investigations consist in considering in which way and under which constraints farmers may ajust their forage resources, both in quantity and quality, to achieve desired animal performances. Therefore, it is very important to propose decision rules adapted to real farm conditions and control procedures to carry out these decisions during the year. For continuous stocking, it was suggested to describe the sward in …

Pastures And Profit In An Australian Ley Farming System, M A. Ewing, D J. Pannell, D A. Morrison
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Annual pasture-cereal rotations dominate land use in the 250-600 rnrn rainfall zone of southern Australia (Puckridge and French, 1983). Although this ley farming system appears simple in concept, farm managers attempting to maximise profits can face complex and difficult decisions. Use of annual legume pasture species such as subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum L.) and medics (Medicago spp.) is widespread. However there are soils, particularly in arid areas, on which legumes do not persist in pasture, so that volunteer herbs and grasses are the dominant pasture species. On these soils a recent trend has been the introduction of legume crops, mainly …

IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
The dynamic simulation model GRAZE (Loewer et al., 1987) incorporates plant and beef animal growth in describing the grazing process. GRAZE had its beginnings at the University of Kentucky in 1976 (Walker et al., 1977; Loewer et al., 1981 ; Loewer and Smith, 1986) and was further developed through three regional research projects (Watson and Wells, 1985). Currently, it is being utilized and enhanced by the regional research project S-221 : Development of Profitable Beef-Forage Production Systems for the Southern Region, in part because of its utility in providing biophysical input-output relationships for purposes of economic analysis (Parsch and Loewer, …
