Abstract
Interspecific hybrids between white clover (Trifolium repens) and two related species have been analysed with respect to their nitrogen fixation characteristics. Second generation backcross hybrids, with white clover as the recurrent parent, of T.
repens x T. ambiguum and T. repens x T. nigrescens showed no significant impairment of nitrogen fixation relative to white clover itself.
repens x T. ambiguum and T. repens x T. nigrescens showed no significant impairment of nitrogen fixation relative to white clover itself.
