Seasonal variation in stolon growing point density of a world collection of white clover ( Trifolium repens L.) cultivars
Year: 1989
Type: article
Abstract: The seasonal variation in density of aerial and surface stolon growing points of 109 cultivars and 16 breeding lines of white clover was examined in a rotationally grazed sward over 3 years. Aerial and surface stolon growing points numbers were higher in summer and autumn than in winter and spring. There was, however, a large cultivar × season interaction for stolon growing point density. Very small‐leaved cultivars had a greater change in stolon growingpoint density from summer orautumn to winter or spring than larger‐leaved cultivars. Earlier‐flowering Unes also had a more significant seasonal drop in stolon growing point density from autumn to winter or spring than later‐flowering lines.
