ABSTRACT
Four new sub clover cultivars
become commercially available in 2005 that are major
improvements over the older cultivars they replace. The new
cultivars have been developed by the National Annual Pasture
Legume Improvement Program (NAPLIP). Except for some advanced
lines being field trialed for red-legged earth mite tolerance,
and a new brachcalycinum cultivar, these will be the last new
cultivars released by the program which now focuses on other
legumes. Two of the new cultivars, Urana and Coolamon, are the
most suited to New South Wales environments.
