Abstract
Summary. Aberystwyth S.184 and New Zealand Certified Mother white clover (Trifolium repens) seed was inoculated with an effective strain of Rhizobium trifolii and pelleted with lime and lime and Gafsa phosphate. When sown in conjunction with S.59 red fescue (Festuca rubra) on rotary cultivated Nardus‐Festuca mountain pasture treated seed gave a significantly better establishment of clover than the uninoculated, non‐pelleted seed of the same varieties.Keywords
