Base temperature and thermal time requirements for germination and emergence of temperate pasture species
TL;DR: The poor relationship (R2 = 0.42) between Tt requirements for germination and 50% field emergence indicated that germination results could not be extrapolated to predict the rate of field emergence, and the need for accurate measurement of soil temperatures to assist the prediction of field emerged was discussed.

Plant Modelling Framework

TL;DR: The PMF can be used to develop models of different complexities and allows flexibility in the approach for implementing crop physiology concepts into model set up, resulting in extensive code re-use through generic organ and process classes and devolving calculations into function classes.

Herbage production, persistence, nutritive characteristics and water use of perennial forages grown over 6 years on a Wakanui silt loam
TL;DR: The combination of herbage nutritive characteristics with production and utilisation data showed that grazing stock consumed 30% more CP and ME annually from Lucerne than either chicory or red clover swards.

Dry matter production, morphology and nutritive value of Dactylis glomerata growing under different light regimes
TL;DR: It appears that heavily shaded dominant temperate pastures in silvopastoral systems limit animal production per hectare through lower DM production rates and per animal through reduced pre-grazing pasture mass of lower bulk density from the etiolated pasture.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the impact of environmental signals on crop growth and development, and how to use these signals to assist management decisions throughout the season, including the timing of spring defoliation based on crop yield and animal requirements.
