Description
A trial was performed to study the seasonal changes in stolon growth and its morphological components in four white clover cultivars, in the north of Buenos Aires Province, in Argentina. Stolons were tagged in four seasonal measurements periods per year, during two consecutive years. Leaf, stolon and flowerheads weights were recorded at regular intervals in each measurement period and total stolon growth was calculated. Differences among cultivars were found in stolon growth and its morphological components in most of the measurement periods. In spring and summer, differences among cultivars in stolon growth were related to flowering quantity and earliness, and cultivar response to the environment. In autumn and winter, differences were associated to the ability of cultivars to grow at low temperatures.
