Arrowleaf clover: potential for dryland farming systems in New Zealand

Abstract

Arrowleaf clover (Trifolium vesiculosum L.) is a late maturing annual legume which has the potential to be used in a range of farming systems such as finishing lambs through to silage production and building soil fertility for future cropping. An experiment at Lincoln University, Canterbury, evaluated the performance of 'Arrotas' arrowleaf clover relative to white and subterranean clover Keywords: climate evaluation, T. repens, T. subterraneum, T. vesiculosum, dry matter yield
