Theme 14: Advances in Forage Legumes
Description
Two trials were carried out to study the stolon mass and classes in white clover (Trifolium repens L.) under two soil water availability levels in summer. In each trial, treatments were two white clover cultivars. From December 15th to February 15th in 1993/94 and again during the same period the following year, white clover was grown under 30 to 70 % (Forced water uptake) or 85-to100 % (Maximum water uptake) of field capacity. Every two months, throughout two years, total stolon mass, and buried, superficial, and aerial stolons were measured. Differences between cultivars were detected in stolon mass and percentage of each stolon class in both trials.
