These experiments were conducted far three and two years (plus one cutting during the third one) respectively. The behavior of the variety Quiñequeli is compared to several common red clovers. The variety Quiñequeli proved to have excellent winter growth, good recovery after cutting resistance to leaf diseases high total forage yield, and excellent adaptation far the length of the Central Plain.
