Description
Many research reports about Caucasian clover (Trifolium ambiguum Bieb.) could be retrieved. A breeding research for Caucasian clover was started since 1996 in Inner Mongolia Agricultural University, China. The goal was to breed new varieties with strong cold resistance and drought, salt tolerance, as well as quick regenerating capacity after use. By December 2012, China's first new variety of Caucasian clover - "Mengnong clover No.1" (Mc No.1) was successfully registered by Forage Variety Approval Committee of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Through a comparison test with red clover (T. pratense ) and white clover (T. repens), Mc No.1 showed outstanding prospects for animal forage and garden use.
