-
(Taylor & Francis Group, 1993-04-01)Whereas cultivation had a detrimental effect on the production of Eragrostis curvula established in broadcast stands, both manuring and mulching had beneficial effects. This effect may be ascribed largely to better moisture ...
-
(Taylor & Francis Group, 1995-04-01)This study was conducted to compare pod and seed characteristics, nutritive value, digestibility and seed survival of intact medic pods after ingestion by sheep. Different diets comprising the intact pods of six cultivars ...
-
(Taylor & Francis Group, 1995-08-01)Sixteen promising forage legume accessions (15 species) were selected from small plot observation trials for agronomic evaluation over three years in a subhumid zone of Uganda. Macrotyloma axillare (Archer) significantly ...
-
(Taylor & Francis Group, 1994-04-01)A plotless vegetation sampling technique (ellipse‐intercept method) is described and its accuracy and precision compared by simulation models with two other line‐based techniques: line‐intercept and a point‐intercept method ...
-
(Taylor & Francis Group, 1994-08-01)An analysis is presented of data from a stocking rate trial carried out in 1962–1963 at Chobela Livestock Station in southern Mozambique. The data set had limitations but an attempt was made to draw any conclusions possible ...
-
(Taylor & Francis Group, 1995-04-01)The production of a pure lucerne (Medicago sativa) pasture, two lucerne‐grass pastures and two red clover (Trifolium pratense)‐grass pastures was compared at two grazing pressures (3.5 and 4.0 kg DM per small stock unit ...
-
(Taylor & Francis Group, 1996-12-01)The purpose of this paper is to describe the use of satellite remote sensing and GIS techniques in applying a localised range condition assessment methodology based on fence‐line contrasts. The approach was to compute six ...
-
(Taylor & Francis Group, 1996-04-01)The performance of lactating dairy cattle fed on a maize silage (S) dry‐lot scheme was compared with that of lactating dairy cattle switched abruptly from a dry‐lot regime to graze endophyte‐free Johnstone (J), Kentucky ...
-
(Taylor & Francis Group, 1993-08-01)Range Ecology at Disequilibrium New Models of Natural Variability and Pastoral Adaptation in African Savannas Edited by R.H. Behnke, I. Scoones & C. Kerven pp. xi + 248 Overseas Development Institute, London £19.95
-
(Taylor & Francis Group, 1994-04-01)Edited by J.C. Noble & R.A. Bradstock pp. viii + 485 CSIRO, Australia, 1989. ISBN 0 643 04985 1
-
(Taylor & Francis Group, 1996-04-01)Leaf dry mass (DM) at peak biomass was estimated for different plant communities in a semi‐arid savanna. These estimates included the total leaf DM, as well as estimates of the leaf DM at browsing heights of 1.5 m, 2.0 m ...
-
(Taylor & Francis Group, 1993-04-01)This experiment evaluated the relationship between carrying capacity and veld condition. Goat browsing days were used as a measure of shrub productivity and cattle grazing days as a measure of the sward. Twigs on two shrub ...
-
(Taylor & Francis Group, 1994-08-01)Studies were carried out to determine the effect of time of inter‐planting centro (Centrosema pubescens) with cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz), at various spacings, on the seed yield components of centro. Apart from the ...
-
(Taylor & Francis Group, 1995-12-01)The chemical composition and in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD) of various utilization forms of grain sorghum residues were investigated. Two grain sorghum cultivars, SNK 3640 (bitter tasting) and Pioneer 8564 (sweet ...
-
(Taylor & Francis Group, 1993-04-01)Five vegetation communities in the alpine catchments of Lesotho were identified by hierarchical classification of the botanical composition data. Discriminant analysis indicated that these communities occupy particular ...
-
(Taylor & Francis Group, 1994-12-01)Hierarchical classification based on proportional species composition of the grass layer was used to identify and classify semi‐arid rangeland into range types. The relation between range types produced by the classification ...
-
(Taylor & Francis Group, 1995-08-01)We investigated the feeding responses of a generalist grasshopper, the brown locust (Locusta pardalina), to leaves of the grass Eragrostis chloromelas differing in polyphenol content. For three specimens of E. chloromelas, ...
-
(Taylor & Francis Group, 1994-08-01)A point‐based technique was used to determine the effects of grazing, due to stocking rate and cattle‐to‐sheep ratio, on the defoliation pattern of three grass species. At each of 100 systematically located points per ...
-
(Taylor & Francis Group, 1993-12-01)A step‐wise approach was followed towards the design of a monitoring system for the herbaceous layer on the escarpment of the Drakensberg mountains in the Transvaal, South Africa. The parameter of concern was proportional ...
-
(Taylor & Francis Group, 1995-04-01)The diet selected by Afrino, Dorper and Merino sheep, and Angora goats was studied in the Arid Karoo at Carnarvon. The diets selected by these small stock species and breeds was established through breed by breed comparisons, ...
