Evaluation of semi-hybrid cloversWhite clover is a high value feed for the dairy industry, with increases in clover content directly linked to increases in production and improved environmental performance. Using research and commercial New Zealand dairy farms in Northland, Waikato, Manawatu, Canterbury and Southland, this project evaluates a new clover development technology and its ability to markedly increase clover content and production on farm. |
Expected outcomes of this project
| Benefit |
| A better breeding system for improving genetic merit of the most cost effective feed source is tested. |
| Improved production and profitability from improved legume content in pastures arising from the breeding system. |
