Lucerne in the Pumice Country

Abstract: Eleven years of experimentation ha've resulted in certain establish ment procedures being recommended and it has been shown that direct drilling of lucerne into chemically killed turf has given yields comparable with notmal cultivation methods. Maintenance topdressing trials have shown responses to increased quantities of potash, intermittent responses to sulphur, conststent responses to lime, and fleeting responses to boron. A grazing experiment with four lucerne varieties is described where increased yields … Show more

“…Under cultivated conditions in the central North Island pumice country, luceme (Medicago sativ~L.) yields about twice as much dry matter as mixed grass/clover pasture (Clare 1972;Baars et al 1~~5). On pumice hill country, pasture cornposition deteriorates rapidly (Baars et al 1975) and grass grub (Costelytra zealandica White) can d~vastate sown ryegrass/white cIover pastures, especially on sunny faces (Gordon & Kain 1972).…”
