Cultivars
The below tables show agronomic data for subterranean clover cultivars currently under (or in the process of obtaining) Plant Breeders Rights in Australia.
Outdated cultivars and brands not registered with the Australian Seeds Authority are excluded. Data are for an early May sowing in Perth. All listed cultivars have low oestrogen levels.
Key:
- Hardseed rating: 1=least hard, 10=most hard.
- Resistance rating: highly susceptible=HS, susceptible=S, moderately susceptible=MS, moderately resistant=MR, resistant=R, highly resistant=HR, no data=nd
