Grasslands NuSiral white clover (Trifolium repens L.)

Abstract

Grasslands NuSiral is a medium–large-leaf white clover (Trifolium repens L.) cultivar with intermediate growth habit (midway between open and erect and dense and prostrate), early flowering maturity and high growing point density. G. NuSiral possesses the plant-type attributes known to be desirable for broad adaptation to dryland pasture conditions in Australia and has been developed for cattle and sheep pastures in both summer rainfall and winter rainfall areas where average annual rainfall exceeds 750 mm. G. NuSiral is expected to provide enhanced stolon survival and autumn recovery in environments where summer moisture stress is present but not intense, and winter growth comparable to cv. Haifa where mild winter conditions allow the expression of G. NuSiral's winter activity.
