“…It has been suggested that lucerne may be more suited to dry hill country than clovers (Janson &White, 1971a;Nixon, 1971), but high levels of inoculum, seed pelleting and liming where soil pH is below 5.8 are required for successful establishment (Musgrave, 1982). This may explain the low yields of lucerne in comparison with red clover at Wairau Valley (Fig.…”

Legumes oversown onto hill country in Marlborough were compared in six trials. At low altitude sites with northerly aspects, legume establishment was negligible unless resident vegetation was treated with herbicide prior to oversowing. On a southerly aspect, legumes established without herbicide although yields were higher if it was applied. 'Grasslands Pawera' red clover outyielded other legumes at 350m. producing 4.6 and 10.1 t DM/ha on a sunny and shady face respectively. Pawera also produced more than lucerne, 'Grasslands Maku' lotus, 'Grasslands Huia' white clover, alsike clover and subterranean clover at altitudes of 780 and lOOOm, but yields were highest from lucerne at 600m and lotus at 1300m. Factors which may have influenced legume establishment and yields are discussed. Keywords: clovers, lotus, lucerne, herbicide, hill country, aspect, altitude.

THE SURVIVAL ON SEED OF RHlZOBIUM MELILOTI FROM COMMERCIAL INOCULANTS

A survey of the numbers of viable Rhizobium meliloti recoverable from lucerne seed after inoculation by conventional methods with commercial inoculants has been carried out. Several batches of inoculant from manufacturers in New Zealand and Australia have been examined and, although all packs had high viable counts, in a number of cases very few live rhizobia could be recovered from seed one hour after inoculation. It is suggested that poor survival of rhizobia on the seed surface is a cause of reported failures to establish luceme in both conventional sowings and oversowing trials.

“…dominated area by fertiliser and oversowing is attributed to allelo-chemicals released by Rvtidisperama spp (Beggs 1964;Parle 1964;Janson & White 1971). However, some of the high-input species, like white clover, may be among the most allelopathic (Scott 1975b;Macfarlane et al 1982).…”

Native and low‐input grasses‐a New Zealand high country perspective

Native, naturalised, pasture, and new grass introductions are discussed in terms of concepts of moisture, temperature, fertility, and utilisation gradients; characteristics of the New Zealand high country environment; and their utility for introduction into low-input pastoral systems. The perennial, long-lived habit of native grass is mimicked in introduced grasses. Poa colensoi is the best native grass, but there is a need for wider evaluation of serai non-tussock species. There is a greater frequency of spreading habit and annuals in naturalised low-input species. The "try it and see" and genotype/environment analysis are advocated for screening new introductions.
