Perennial persistence and pasture composition results from Hamilton EverGraze Proof Site

Below are the results for the persistence (Figures 1-3) and pasture composition (Figures 4-6) in the Perennial Ryegrass, Triple and Novel Systems at the Hamilton EverGraze Proof Site.  Pastures were sown either on the crest, slope or valley floor in each system.
