Other claims from this paper (3)
- Observation The optimum herbage mass for maximum accumulation varied from 1600 to 4000 kg dry matter per hectare.
- Mechanism Allowing mass above optimum or harvesting below it reduces instantaneous accumulation rate.
- Recommendation Maintaining pastures within 90% of maximum accumulation rate may be a practical management target.
