Abstract
Surface 'sowing of hill-country pastures with clovers has been practised in New .Zealand for many years and it is undisputed that the introduction of new and improved strains of clovers will assist in pasture improvement and increased production. Today with new facilities, such as the aeroplane and blower, available for topdressing and oversowing an enormous -increase is taking place in the area of hill country topdressed with phosphate. To achieve the maximum benefit from this topdressing it is essential that sufficient clover,is present in the sward to utilise the added phosphate. On large areas of hill country where topdressing is practised clovers are sparse, and under these conditions little response and benefit is derived from phosphate applications. With this fact in view considerable interest has been aroused regarding the most satisfactory methods of introducing clovers into unploughable pastures.
