Abstract: | A sigmoid equation that accurately describes pasture growth is presented. The equation has three parameters that can be estimated either statistically from experimental results or algebraically from physiological simulation models. The equation produces satisfactory statistical results and it can account for different environmental conditions, through adjustment of parameter values, making it ideal for incorporation into grazing models when a simple but flexible equation is needed. |
