Relative performance of white clover (

Assessment of the relative performance white clover (Trifolium repens L.) cultivars, using multi-year and multi-location seasonal growth trials, is key to identification material with specific broad adaptation. This paper based on a study 56 entries comprising 14 commercial cultivars 42 experimental synthetic lines evaluated for under rotational grazing across four locations in New Zealand over 4 years. The (and animals grazing) were: Kerikeri (beef cattle), Aorangi Ruakura (dairy Lincoln (sheep). Significant (P < 0.05) genotypic variation among entries, genotype × year, location season interactions, were estimated. We able identify synthetics adaptation three management types. Cvv. AberDance, Apex, Demand, Prestige, Quartz Riesling, leaf size ranging from small medium–large, showed highly above-average sheep grazing. Synthetic 15 45 also had Legacy Kopu II cattle dairy Synthetics 15, 48, 49, 44, 22 18 cv. all managements. 27, 33 38 managements superior evaluated. Several these are being tested multiple environments. Among evaluated, several on-farm trials temperate regions world.
