This paper describes a Tropical Pasture Simulator. This is a simple mechanistic model
representing the growth of vegetative tropical pastures under rotational or continuous grazing with responses to N fertiliser, temperature and irradiance that can be used as a tool to study
management options fo...

Modelling the growth and utilisation of kikuyu grass (Pennisetum clandestinum) under grazing. 1. Model definition and parameterisation
The expanding demand for livestock products in developing countries is expected to drive changes in livestock
farming systems, such as intensification and technological development. However, while large commercial farms can
take advantage of these new opportunities, semi-subsistence agriculture w...
