Which of the following is not a characteristic of a good pasture?
- provision of balance nutrients
-
high stem to leaf ratio
- high quality of grass
- ability to withstand trampling
The correct answer is: B
Explanation
A high stem to leaf ratio is not a characteristic of a good pasture. In fact, it is the opposite. A good pasture should have low stem to leaf ratio. This is because the leaves of the plants are more nutritious and palatable to animals than the stems. Therefore, a pasture with a high proportion of leaves to stems will pmvide better nutrition for grazing animals.
