Selection of white clover (Trifolium repens L.) for improved phosphorus use efficiency

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference Proceeding (Non-Journal item)

Abstract

The development of high yielding white clover (Trifolium repens L.) varieties with improved phosphorus use efficiency has potential environmental benefits as well as economic benefits to the grassland sector, challenged as it is to reduce the environmental consequences of production through sustainable intensification. Survivor plants were collected from a long term, low input trial and crossed to identify germplasm with enhanced phosphorus use efficiency (PUE). Several lines were identified that showed improved performance relative to control varieties under P-limitation. This also related to the performance of the companion ryegrass.
