Two new white clover cultivars in comparison with others in associations with grasses, in Rio Grande do Sul, Southern Brazil

Abstract

Nine white clover cultivars, among them two bred in Rio Grande do Sul, were evaluated in association with annual ryegrass and pensacola bahiagrass, in Southern Brazil. During 4 years, 17 harvests were done to dry matter yield of the mixture components. Results of dry matter yield of the cultivars and mixtures, crude protein yield and in vitro organic matter digestibility are discussed.
