The problems of managing pasture while establishing a stand of trees in both developed and developing sward are outlined. In particular, the two basic means of pasture control-animals and machines-are examined. Examples of pasture management control and utilization cover the planting, releasing, early thinning and pruning phases up to year 5 at Pouto. Particular reference is made to fertilizing practices, the problems of Kikuyu grass pasture and summer drought conditions.
