Abstract: The seed reserves of 3 annual medic treatments were compared under set stocking on a red loam in the northern wheatbelt of Western Australia. The aphid tolerant cultivar, Parabinga barrel medic, maintained 3 times the seed reserve of the highly susceptible Cyprus barrel medic at the same stocking rate over a 4 year period. Improved persistence was also achieved in Parabinga at a 60% higher stocking rate. Parabinga pastures contained a seed reserve of 443 kg/ha at 5 Merino wether hoggets/ha after 4 years c
