Performance of lucerne varieties on the south coast of New South Wales

Abstract

The performances of Hunter River and introduced varieties of lucerne were tested at Milton (south coast of N.S.W.). There were no significant differences in yield between any variety in spring or summer, but Hairy Peruvian, African, and Indian produced significantly more than Hunter River in winter. These introduced varieties could make a valuable contribution to the dairying industry of the south coast of N.S.W.
