Abstract
Results are given from two experiments comparing the establishment and production of 'Grasslands Huia' white clover (Trifolium repens) aid 'Grasslands Maku' lotus (Lofus pedunculatus) . 'These were oversown alone or as a mixture on to a low-fertility, acid, tussock grassland soil (pH 4.6) near Berwick, Otago. Establishment of both species was slow and in the second year there were only small differences in yield between white clover and lotus. However, in the third year iotus markedly outyielded white clover in the presence and absence of lime; at four levels of P from 7.5 to 60 kg/ha; and at seeding rates from 2 to 10 kg/ha. Lotus also outyielded the lotus/white clover mixture at the .5 and 10 kg/ha seeding rate.Keywords
