= hoof cultivation
‘Hoof cultivation’ can be invaluable for burying seeds and so helping to establish and renovate pastures.
Unploughable hills
oversowing has included a good hard grazing by a big mob of sheep and cattle to
open up the turf with hoof cultivation, which is repeated immediately after sowing.
Initial aerial topdressing and oversowing has been carried out in separate
operations during July to September. An aircraft fitted with a swathmaster for the
oversowing operation makes the best job. grass seed mixtures have been mainly
3.5 kg/ha of Huia white clover 2.5 kg/ha of Apanui cocksfoot and up to 9 kg/ha of
Nui ryegrass. Inoculation of the white clover seed by the farmer just before
oversowing has always been successful and though prills and coated seeds have
been used extensively, they have not been superior.
The best management after sowing has been to graze the area hard during the
first summer, to give maximum light for white clover development. In the following
season light grazing and spelling during the white clover flowering period enables
the seed to set and ripen to extend regeneration in situ and spreading by stock
transference.

Cocksfoot and perennial ryegrass have been only partially successful in the initial
oversowing and establish best with a good hoof trampling cultivation before
oversowing. A few plants have successfully established along stock tracks, camping
areas, dung patches, moist and more fertile areas and gradually have spread by
reseeding and stock transference
Other important methods of pasture cultivation were tripod ' harrows and hoof cultivation by animals. Either tended to make the pasture strong and vigorous.
