Abstract/Contents: | "In a trial to determine means of increasing rate of revegetation of erosion scars, 3 fertiliser and 3 seeding treatments were applied to plots on 8 recent scars in the Wairarapa, half each on northerly or southerly aspects. Four scars were grazed, and 4 were not grazed for the first 2 1/2 years. Fertiliser treatments were no fertiliser, superphosphate, and superphosphate plus nitrogen. Seeding treatments were no seed, a slow-establishing mixture, and a fast-establishing mixture. Changes in vegetative cover were monitored during years 0 to 2 1/2, and pasture production during years 3 1/2 to 5 1/2. Conclusions include: rate of recovery of pastures can be greatly increased by not grazing for 2-3 years and sowing white clover and Lotus pendunculatus; space-planting hill slopes with suitable tree species could be accomplished at the same time; if slips are not spelled from grazing, rate of slip revegetation and subsequent productivity from oversowing white clover can be reduced." |
