Establishment of undersown white clover as affected by wheat sowing rate, time of white clover introduction, and irrigation

Year: 1974

Type: article

Abstract: Establishment of undersown white clover was unaffected by differences in sowing rate of ‘Aotea’ wheat between 50 and 150 kg/ha. Clover sown with wheat in June established at a higher density than when overdrilled the following spring. Irrigation increased the survival of undersown clover without increasing plant size. It is suggested that the growth of irrigated clover was restricted by low light intensity.
