How can shelter protect pasture and arable areas?
Having suitable shelter belts planted can aid pasture by:
-
Reducing the chilling effects from southerly winds and evaporation by hot dry northerlies.
-
Reducing losses caused by blowing of windrows, cut and dried for hay and seed production.
-
Increasing the availability of moisture from dew formation.
-
Increasing air and soil temperatures except in shaded areas.
-
Creating favourable conditions for pollination.
-
In irrigation systems shelter reduces evaporative loss of water before it reaches the crop. It is important to plant the best shelter for your situation. Particularly taking into account ongoing maintenance costs. Contact us to help you to decide which shelter is best for your land.
