Abstract

IN THIS PAPER it is planned to review research work in Central Otago and the work carried out at Tara Hills High Country Research Station, Omarama, prior to 1966, into the improvement of low altitude tussock country, the utilization of this improved country and the increases in production which can occur. Discussion will mainly be concerned with the improvement of tussock country in areas where the rainfall is greater than 20 in. per annum and where clovers can be introduced by oversowing. Lucerne is the legume suited to areas where the rainfall is less than 20 in.
