Productivity and persistence of Kura clover‐grass mixtures

There is currently a need for persistent forage legumes that could be used in permanent pastures of eastern Canada.Species currently used all lack persistence when grazed.Kura clover ( KC, T ri f olium ambiguum M.Bieb.) is a rhizomatous species which potential has been reported in several regions ( Laberge and Seguin, 2005 ).Exceptional persistence and high forage quality are characteristics making KC a good candidate for use in permanent pastures (Laberge and Seguin, 2005).An experiment was established to compare KC and white clover (WC, T.repens L.) contributions to total forage yield in post‐ seeding years when mixed with different grass species and determine if KC could be used to establish desirable legume :grass swards in permanent pastures of eastern Canada.
