Description
Limitations to perennial legume persistence and growth in summerdry hill country pastures of New Zealand may be overcome by the development of better-adapted species and cultivars. Ten alternative temperate perennial legume species were grown in a typical hill soil to evaluate herbage growth, morphology and flowering characteristics. Comparison was made with a commonly used standard white clover cultivar. Key species for further development have been identified,
