The 2011 New Zealand Grassland Association paper titled “Improving red clover persistence under grazing”, highlights the strengths of Relish red clover. This work by Ford and Barrett, assessed 142 red clover accessions replicated in mixed swards under cattle grazing. These included a collection of 99 experimental populations and cultivars brought into New Zealand in 2006, and 35 New Zealand derived breeding lines, including 16 F1 progeny lines developed by crossing ecotypes from countries including Portugal, Georgia, Yugoslavia and Turkey with elite New Zealand cultivars, and 19 synthetics including Grasslands Relish. Eight commercial red clover cultivars were included as controls.
