'Durana' white clover (Trifolium repens L.) (Reg. no. CV-7, PI 633852) was developed by the University of Georgia Agricultural Experiment Stations and AgResearch Ltd. (New Zealand). It was tested experimentally as GA-43 and GC90.

The 7 best progeny genotypes from within each of the 12 half-sib families were then ...
