Abstract

Over the last decade at least seven improved pasture cultivars which have application in the summer moist finishing regions of Manawatu, coastal and south Otago and Southland have been released. Ryegrass and white clover are the dominant pasture components in these regions. Production from such pastures is limited by cool winter temperatures in OtagoISouthland and by summer moisture stress in Manawatu (see Chapter 7). Improved cultivars of ryegrass and white clover, alternative species and better management strategies can be used to lessen the effect of these limitations. The establishment and management aspects are discussed in this chapter.
