Subterranean Clover Strain Trials and Seed Certification
Mr T R Jones, stock inspector at Forbes, outlines a seed certification scheme for the Bacchus Marsh strain of subterranean clover. The strain, from Myrniong near Bacchus Marsh, is promoted as best suited to local conditions, with earlier flowering than Dwalganup and Mt Barker varieties, rapid establishment, and strong seed production. Observations at Burnley note rapid establishment from own seed and resilience after season break, but late cultivation risks seedless stands and reduced grazing value.
