Abstract

A progress report on 'Grasslands 4700' white clover shows differences in its relative performance at the Northland, Canterbury and Southland stations of Grasslands Division, DSIR, Indications are that it has a higher potential growth than 'Grasslands Huia' white clover at Kaikohe. At Lincoln its herbage production has not been signilicantly different from that of Huia. At Gore clover herbage production from 4700 was poorer in the ftrst year, but better in winter and equal in the other seasons of the second year compared with Huia. While associated ryegrass production tended to be better with 4700 than with Huia at Kaikohe. it was variable at L,incoln and poorer at Gore.
