Description
Nd relationship between leaf size and any of the measured variables was found for 63 agronomically superior white clover (Trifolium repens L.) plants of relatively diverse morphological and physiological characteristics, Predominantly crown-flowering plants gave more than double the seed yield of stolon-lip 'flowerers. High seed yields were also associated with delays in peak flowering, harvest date and increased harvest dry matter. Similar associations were evident for inflorescence density. Increased dry matter accumulation was associated with increases in both floret numbers and seeds/ inflorescence.
