Abstract

A series of trials was conducted on a Mawhera gley podzol to investigate the comparative establishment and yield of white clover/ryegrass and lotus/Yorkshire fog pastures at different rates of lime, phosphate and potassium. Lotus/Yorkshire fog was superior in yield to white clover/ryegrass at all rates of lime and fertilizer, in the second and third year after sowing. This superiority was more marked at low rates of lime. The potential role of lotus as a pioneer species on pakihi soils is discussed.
