Seed Increase

Bytown is a tetraploid cultivar of Trifolium pratense L., developed at the Agriculture Canada Research Station, Ottawa, Ontario. The cultivar has larger leaves, stems and floral parts than its parent Ottawa diploid variety. It has shown greater persistence in Northern areas of Ontario and Quebec and will be used in dairy production as haylage. The SeCan Association will be responsible for seed increase and distribution. It was licensed in March 1979 and pedigree seed will be available to farmers in the spring of 1981.

Overall Resistance

In Wisconsin, Fusarium oxysporum, Schlect., a pathogen causing vascular wilt, is the most prevalent fungal pathogen recovered from diseased red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) plants. This study was conducted to determine the mode of inheritance for red clover resistance to this pathogen and to develop resistant germplasm. Virulent isolates of this pathogen, collected from red clover plants at the Ashland Research Station, Ashland, Wisconsin, were used to screen three populations, the red clover cultivars Arlington and Marathon and the C11 germplasm, for resistant plants. Plants were inoculated with the pathogen and evaluated for reaction, using a disease-severity index (DSI) score from 1 to 5 (1 = no reaction, 5 = plant dead). Selected plants from each cycle were intercrossed to produce subsequent generations. After two and three cycles of selection, the developed populations were simultaneously evaluated for gain from selection. The gain from selection for resistance in these populations (cycle 0 minus cycle 2) ranged from 0.31 to 0.48, 0.12 to 0.75, and 0.13 to 0.83 DSI units, respectively, for Arlington, Marathon, and C11. Estimated narrow-sense heritabilities, based on cycle-1 and cycle-2 progeny, were, respectively, 0.20 and 0.37 for Arlington, 0.15 and 0.13 for Marathon, and 0.06 and 0.17 for C11. These results indicate that resistance is a quantitative trait controlled by many loci, each contributing some portion to overall resistance in the host.

AC Kingston red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) is a diploid cultivar of the double-cut type developed by mass selection at the Agriculture Canada Research Station, Charlottetown, PEL It is similar to Florex in maturity, but is superior in forage yield in the second harvest year. It was selected for persistence under field conditions. Key words: Red clover, Trifolium pratense L., persistence, cultivar description

Trifolium Pratense L

Cultivars and common seedlots of double- and single-cut red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) were direct seeded at the Elora Research Station in 1982 and 1983, fall plowed, and followed by 3 yr of corn (Zea mays L.) harvested for grain yield. The 1982 and 1983 sites differed in background soil N status. Common seedlots produced subsequent corn yields equal to those following certified cultivars, indicating no advantage to the use of certified seed for plowdown purposes. Although double-cut strains produced more aboveground biomass, both in midseason and at plowdown, single-cut strains produced more fall root biomass (1 yr only) and a higher percent root N, but in the end, corn yield did not differ between double- and single-cut strains. The ranges of performance of double- and single-cut strains did not overlap for aboveground biomass, but overlapped substantially for both root and percent shoot N and for root biomass. First-year corn yield varied significantly with red clover strain, in both the double- and single-cut groups, although no strain differences were apparent by the second and third years. Compared to continuous corn with no N fertilizer, red clover increased corn yield by 1.5–1.8 t ha−1 in Year 1, by 0.4–0.9 t ha−1 in Year 2, and by 0–0.7 t ha−1 in Year 3. First-year corn yield was not significantly correlated with red clover parameters measured the preceding year, including aboveground biomass and nitrogen content at plowdown. However, observed patterns of response were consistent with a nitrogen-based plowdown benefit. Breeding to improve plowdown value will depend on identification of those specific plant attributes which confer legume plowdown benefit.Key words: Plowdown, green manure, red clover, nitrogen, corn

Seed lots of the Finnish tetraploid red clover Trifolium pratense L. cult Tepa produced in the USA and Canada were tested in space-planted and solid-seeded trials in Finland to reveal possible changes in cultivar performance that might arise from seed multiplication outside the cultivar’s actual region of adaptation. Despite up to four successive generations of seed increase in the USA, there were, according to the planting-year results of the Finnish trials, only minor changes in the growth type and flowering pattern. In the 2nd year of testing, however, the USA seed lots flowered significantly earlier than the Finnish basic seed lot. The USA seed lots equalled the Finnish-grown ones in winter survival and productivity. The Tepa seed lots from Canada likewise showed only minor cultivar shifts. The seed lots with least change were obtained from Saskatchewan, Canada, and Washington, USA. Since these two areas also produced satisfactory seed yields, they are considered suitable regions for commercial seed production of Tepa.

Trifolium Pratense L

The composition of the volatile fraction of two important forage legumes from Italian sub-alpine N.E. pastureland, namely Trifolium pratense L. subsp. pratense (red clover) and T. repens subsp. repens (white clover) were investigated. The volatile oil was obtained from the fresh aerial parts by steam distillation and analyzed by GC/FID and GC/MS. The oil yield was 0.018 and 0.021% (weight/fresh weight basis) for T. pratense and T. repens, respectively. Several classes of compounds were found in both the oils, including alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, terpenes, esters, hydrocarbons, phenolics and acids. Qualitative and quantitative differences were found.
