Description
White clover (Trifolium repens L.) is a short-lived legume in Uruguay, usually not lasting more than 3 or 4 years. The cultivar type currently being used is medium leaved and profusely flowering. Analysis of a series of variety trials over a period of 1 S years revealed that large leaved types were the best in terms of herbage yields and vegetative persistency. Frequent moisture deficit and high summer temperatures are the most important environmental factors affecting growth of white clover in Uruguay. The good performance of large-leaved types could be due to theit deeper and tap-rooted root systems.
