摘要: Abstract Assessments were made on the influence of several microclimatic variables availability third-stage larvae Haemonchus contortus and placei four strata irrigated Kikuyu pasture. Three replicates these pasture samples collected 18 sample days over 12 months log 10 mean counts recovered analysed by a stepwise regression model. Predictors for two nematode species included relative humidity, illumination, air temperature windspeed. The effect both was similar; as increased, number increased. inverse true windspeed; windspeed increased larval decreased. For H. , humidity all except upper herbage. R 2 values ranged from 0.11 to 0.21 0.04 0.12 . Under conditions this study, only 21% 12% can be explained conditions.
