Phosphorus response and efficiency of 12 novel dryland legume species on an acid high country soil
(Fertilizer and Lime Research Centre, Massey University, 2012-02)
High country soils are typically acidic and have low fertility compared with intensive high fertility low land systems. Pasture legumes commonly used in New Zealand perform poorly in these environments. The optimum soil P ...
Maximising the subterranean clover content on a summer-dry Wairarapa hill-country farm through grazing management
(New Zealand Grassland Association, 2019-11-04)
Tokaroa Farm is a 608-ha sheep and beef farm, in the Wairarapa. Paddock slopes range from flat to steep (>25°) with a predominance of gentler north facing slopes and steeper south facing slopes. Annual rainfall is 810 mm ...
Tolerance of newly sown cocksfoot-clover pastures to the herbicide imazethapyr
(New Zealand Grassland Association, 2017)
In New Zealand, subterranean clover is recommended as a companion legume in mixed swards, particularly in dryland cocksfoot-based pastures. However, establishment of cocksfoot is slower than perennial ryegrass and therefore ...
Sampling methods for clover species in grazed pastures to diagnose mineral deficiencies
(New Zealand Grassland Association, 2019-11-04)
Diagnosis of clover nutrient status is important for legume-based pasture systems. The protocols for sample collection and setting of nutrient guidelines are ill-defined. This research quantified how nutrient concentrations ...
Seed yield and subsequent emergence pattern of subterranean clover cultivars in response to summer rain
(New Zealand Grassland Association, 2018-11-13)
At Lincoln University, Canterbury, seven subterranean cultivars rated in Australia as having different levels of ‘hardseedeness’ were established. Monocultures were sown in autumn and allowed to grow and set seed. Seed ...
Legumes for hill country
(Lincoln University., 2012-04-03)
The booklet presents the preliminary results of a TIFF funded “MAXClover’ dryland hill country legume experiment at Clarence Bridge, Marlborough. It also includes a practical guide to on-farm management for direct grazed ...
Establishment, production and regeneration of subterranean clovers in the Mackenzie Basin, New Zealand
(New Zealand Grassland Association, 2018-11-13)
The ‘Red Flats’ on Omarama Station in the Mackenzie Basin, has a winter cold, summer dry environment and soils with low plant available water (<60 mm in the top 1 m), and low pH(H₂O) (5.2) and high aluminium (8 mg/kg) below ...
