Abstract
The analysis of mixed pasture species has proven to be a useful guide to plant and animal nutrition. Fourteen or more elements can be analysed in plants and the results used to correct any potential problem. In Southland low Ca MQ. Co and Se are the main problems in animal nutrition, with low Sand MO the main deficiencies in plant nutrition. Most elements in pasture vary with soil temperature in a predictable way and this effect can be used to alert farmers of potential problems with animal nutrition, Keywords: trace elements, pasture analysis, fertiliser requirements
