Ripgut brome (Bromus diandrus) distribution in relation to topography and management on seven high country properties in the South Island

Determines the distribution of ripgut brome, an annual grass that can contaminate the wool, pelt and carcasses of sheep grazing on high country properties, on seven high country properties in Marlborough, Canterbury and Otago during Dec 2006 to Febr 2007. Measures the presence of ripgut brome in paddocks of different management intensities at altitudes ranging from 400 to 1400 m. Considers the implications of the results in terms of methods that may be used to suppress ripgut brome on hill and high country properties.
