Abstract

PASTURES vary greatly in production from place to place, from season to season and from year to year. In this review of grasslands research in Canterbury and North Otago, the intention is to emphasize these variations and to identify some of the factors associated with such variations. In particular, it is intended to illustrate the relationships between production of clover-based pastures and lucerne-based pastures and seasonal factors, especially rainfall.
