Dryland seedling lucerne establishment was examined at Lincoln University, Canterbury, New Zealand. Stands were sown on 4 October, 4 November, 2 December 201 O and 10 January and 7 February 2011 with four seed treatments; bare seed, ALOSCA ® granules, coated seed and peat inoculant. Accumulated crop dry matter (DM) yield decreased with each successive sowing from 15 t/ha to 2.5 t/ha for the latest sowing date. Lower DM yields were explained by less intercepted light and a change in DM partitioning from shoots to roots. The latest sowing grew 1.84±0.26 kg DM/ °Cd compared with 3.84±0.22 kg DM/ °Cd for the earliest sowing. Coated seed produced a higher (P<0.001) initial plant population of 331 plants/m2 which was 68% of the 490 seeds/m2 sown....
