| 18 Jun 2012. Sub clover at Tempello – presented by David and Joanna Grigg (Marlborough).

| 18 Jun 2012. Arrowleaf clover: Farmer experiences with increasing clover – presented by Chris and Julia Dawkins (The Pyramid, Marlborough). In a 700+ mm rainfall environment with summer drought conditions 12 ha of arrowleaf clover and perennial grass pastures have been established. Arrowleaf clover is the latest flowering annual clover available. Chris is looking at how to best manage this top flowering clover in a perennial pasture to provide quality pastures for late lactation and lamb weaning feed while ensuring persistence of the clover from year to year (PDF 1.4 MB). | |
| 18 Jun 2012. Balansa clover: Farmer experiences with increasing legume – presented by Warwick and Lisa Lissaman (Breach Oak, Marlborough).

There are mixed species pastures which include plantain and clovers growing alone and management of gland and balansa clovers with winter active tall fescue is being monitored. One of Lincoln Universities PhD students is also collecting information on the growth and development of the clovers in this environment. This is the first of three presentations given by Warwick at the workshop (PDF 1.6 MB). | |
