The aim of this work was to measure the effect of one grazing tactic, of intensive grazing, and pest control on pasture growth and composition, pest populations and animal productivity. Grazing to 1.4 t DM/ha reduced redlegged earth mite and other pasture pests to levels similar to those achieved with insecticides. Intensive grazing in spring and reduced amounts of plant material over summer resulted in low autumn populations of pests. Set stocked treatments showed the highest numbers of pests and bene
