Abstract
There are environmental concerns associated with the inefficient use of applied nutrients in grassland. Here we describe three phenotyping systems at different scales used to quantify variation in phosphorus (P) uptake and utilisation in the forage legume white clover (Trifolium repens L.). This is a first step in the development of varieties that are productive under limited supplies of P.
