Pest damage showing in pastures
Region: All NZ
Damage to pastures often becomes very obvious in winter. Generally, it is too late to prevent production losses which have already occurred, but pastures may be saved and long term quality maintained if pests are controlled. If this is necessary, identify the pest and adopt appropriate control measures. Bear in mind that spring growth is not far away and may outgrow the effect of the pest.
