Body

A technique for estimating shrub forage weight is described and the results of testing it on saltbush and bluebush are presented. The accuracy and precision, speed and simplicity, and independence of special equipment of the technique are all demonstrated. Although similar in principle to techniques known to have been used in Australia (but nowhere described in detail), the present technique has distinctive features and is designated the 'Adelaide' technique.
