Abstract: In two field experiments on sandy acidic soils, lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) was compared with subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum L.) in phase pasture-crop rotations. Soil water content, herbage production, lucerne persistence, soil nutrients and subsequent wheat yield and quality were measured. Compared to the annual pasture, the lucerne increased pasture biomass (5-7 t ha-1 compared with 3-4 t ha-1) largely due to utilisation of summer rainfall. The results show that lucerne provides a high ter-use phase farming system on sandy acidic soils common throughout the Western Australian cropping zone.
