Pasture production - Historical weather
-
Pasture production is modelled throughout New Zealand under five combined scenarios of irrigation and fertiliser.
The dataset - what is it?
The data shows annual pasture (ryegrass/white clover) yield for the 5 scenarios over New Zealand.
Why it's important
Land use decisions can be made with evidence of the impacts of irrigation and fertilisers.

Caveats
The production surfaces show the general variation pattern for a ryegrass/white clover pasture across environmental conditions and under general idealised management. The simulations considered no soil limitations other than water and nitrogen and excluded pests and diseases. It also assumed no restrictions to management or access to resources (e.g. water or irrigation)
