The key to large-scale white clover seed production in this environment is (1) the use of herbicides for grass and weed control; (2) the use of defoliants at harvest; (3) a crop programme which enables the harvest to be spread over a longer period, thus giving time in the crucial hottest part of the summer to harvest the bulk of the clover. Keywords: Trifoliun repens, seed production, dryland farming.
