MOST ADVISORS of tussock grassland development frequently recommend the sowing of a few pounds of grass seed, usually cocksfoot, with clover seed mixtures for oversowing. With changes taking place in tussock grassland fertility, owing to successful clover growth and more intense grazing, it appears an appropriate time to assess critically the place of grass oversowing and more particularly the emphasis on cocksfoot as the grass to sow in the tussock grassland environment.
