Summary
In order to broaden the applicability of the GrassGro decision support tool across Australia's livestock industries, there was a need to develop parameter sets that describe attributes of a wider range of pasture species.
This report intended to assist researchers to build these parameter sets. It describes the steps that are required to ensure that a pasture parameter set has the appropriate quality for incorporation into GrassGro (including evaluation by developers, by the custodians of GrassGro and by users of the new parameter set) and makes recommendations as to how parameter sets should be validated.
