The need to isolate defoliation from other influences arising from grazing cattle nsed in experiments has led to the development of a cage which allows cattle to graze, hut protects the sward from treading and the deposition of faeces and nrine. The technique is descrihed and a description given of experimental work on the harvesting of swards in the presence or absence of these other influences.
