Extract

Land development through pasture improvement has made great strides in recent years in many parts of the world. This has been made possible by a better understanding of the principles of pasture production following the pioneering work of the late Sir George Stapledon and his school of grassland enthusiasts. Improved strains of pasture plants, the use of lime and fertilisers, the development of mechanical aids and a better understanding of the animal in grazing management have all been involved in the development.
