Yield components of five regrowth cycles, two in 1981 and three in 1982, of three red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) populations and three alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) cultivars were compared in swards. Red clover left more stubble but produced less herbage and accumulated total yield (herbage, stubble and 10 cm depth root) at a slower rate than alfalfa during most regrowths. The percent leaf at flowering of red clover was similar to that of alfalfa. Maximum LAI declined during successive regrowths each year. Maximum crop growth rates were 30 and 34 g m−2 d−1 for red clover and alfalfa, respectively. Stem development (canopy height) followed patterns of accumulation of herbage yield. The initiation of stems was slower in red clover and stem populations were less than that of alfalfa. Selection for faster stem initiation rates, higher stem populations, and reduced partitioning of dry matter towards stem bases which would be left as stubble were suggested as ways of increasing the herbage yield of red clover.Key words: Trifolium pratense L., Medicago sativa L., yield components, growth analysis clover (red), alfalfa

Identification and quantification of polyphenols in plant material are of great interest since they make a significant contribution to its total bioactivity. In the present study, an UPLC-Orbitrap-MS/MS approach using the variable data acquisition mode (vDIA) was developed and applied for rapid separation, identification, and quantification of the main polyphenolic compounds in Medicago sativa L. and Trifolium pratense L. sprouts in different germination stages. Based on accurate MS data and fragment ions identification strategy, a total of 29 compounds were identified by comparing their accurate masses, fragment ions, retention times, and literatures. Additionally, a number of 30 compounds were quantified by comparing to the reference standards. Data were statistically analysed. For both plant species, the sprouts of the third germination day are valuable sources of bioactive compounds and could be used in phytotherapy and nutrition. Although Trifolium pratense L. (Red Clover) is considered to be a reference for natural remedies in relieving menopause disorders, alfalfa also showed a high level of biological active compounds with estrogenic activity.

Male and female specimens of Paratylenchus brevihastus n. sp. were collected in Ontario, Canada, from soil around the roots of blue violets (Viola cucullata Ait.) and grass, alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), oats (Avena sp.), and red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) during 1958 to 1961. This species has characters close to those of Paratylenchus microdorus, but differs from it in having spear knobs with rather flat anterior surfaces and front of lip region with truncate appearance. Males present.

Recently, heavy metals concentrations increased in some agricultural areas due to the consequences of anthropogenic impacts. The aim of this study was to determine the level of heavy metals (As, Cr, Ni and Pb) in Medicago sativa L. and Trifolium pratense L. grown on fluvisol, in order to obtain information on safety of these nutrients. The total content of Pb, As, Cr and Ni in the samples of fluvisol was above the maximum allowable amount. The content of heavy metals in Medicago sativa L. and Trifolium pratense L. was below the critical and toxic concentrations in all samples originating from contaminated soil. It was concluded that the accumulation of heavy metals in plants did not depend only on the total content in soil, but also the affinity of the plant, and individual and interactive effects of various soil properties. No statistically significant differences in the accumulation of heavy metals between Medicago sativa L. and Trifolium pratense L were observed. It is necessary to further control of heavy metals in the investigated area, in order to prevent their entry into the food chain and provide healthy food.

In September 1977 and 1978, color infrared (CIR) aerial photographs of mixed agricultural areas (approx. 132.7 km2) near Vernon and Carp, Ontario, and of forage legume test plots at Ottawa were taken at a scale of 1:6000. Extensive ground surveys were conducted within 2 wk after the photographic flights to verify CIR images of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), red clover (Trifolium pratense L.), trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.), vetch (Vicia spp.) grasses and their mixtures in the original transparencies. A number of photographic image characteristics of legumes and grasses have been illustrated by which a reliable identification and subsequent quantification of legume components were made, particularly in fields that showed decline of a crop or when the individual components grew as separate patches in the same field. Photo-interpretation difficulties existed in distinguishing the components in a very uniformly mixed crop and recently cut fields.

El objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar la aplicabilidad de la espectroscopía del infrarrojo cercano (NIRS) para la valoración nutritiva de dos especies forrajeras de importancia en el país: alfalfa (Medicago sativa L) y trébol rojo (Trifolium pratense L). Se utilizaron 75 muestras de variedades de alfalfa (SW 8210, WL 625HQ) y 75 de variedades de trébol rojo (Quiñequeli, Kendland) obtenidas de los campos de la Estación Experimental IVITA El Mantaro, región Junín, Perú. Se realizó el análisis proximal determinando el contenido de proteína cruda (PC), extracto etéreo (EE), fibra cruda (FC), cenizas totales (CZ) y fibra detergente neutra (FDN) y se hizo la captura del espectro mediante un equipo NIRS. Se elaboraron los modelos de calibración y validación para estimar la capacidad predictiva mediante Cuadrados Mínimos Parciales (PLS), siendo los estadísticos de exactitud y precisión usados el Coeficiente de Correlación (R), Coeficiente de Determinación (R2), Raíz Cuadrada Media del Error de Calibración (RMSEC), Raíz Cuadrada Media del Error de Predicción (RMSEP), Proporción del Rango con el Error (RER) y Desviación Residual Predictiva (RPD). Los modelos matemáticos obtenidos muestran que la técnica NIRS posee una capacidad de predicción buena de los componentes nutricionales de PC, CZ y FDN (R2:0.97, 0.99, 0.94; RPD: 2.00, 2.17 y 2.00, respectivamente) para variedades de alfalfa y trébol rojo.
