The effect on pasture productivity of sowing birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus) and white clover (Trifolium repens) as pure and mixed swards was evaluated over two growing seasons. Different sowing techniques were used for mixed sward treatments: species sown in alternate rows, mixed within rows or broadcast.
