“…Response to tandem selection for yield and winter hardiness has been successful in improving material for Scandinavian regions (Aasmo Finne et al, 2000b;Helgadóttir et al, 2008) and more temperate zones (Lüscher et al, 2001). Artificial frosting environments for selection have also been developed (Collins and Rhodes, 1995;Caradus and Christie, 1998). Greater cold tolerance was reportedly associated with stolon content of water-soluble and total non-structural carbohydrates (Collins and Rhodes, 1995;Frankow-Lindberg, 2001) and soluble proteins (Annicchiarico et al, 2001).…”

“…Clover stolon samples removed at random locations within each plot were chemically analysed for total non-structural carbohydrates (TNCs) and watersoluble carbohydrates (WSCs) using the methods described in Collins and Rhodes (1995), The total nitrogen (N) concentrations of the stolons were measured using the Kjeldahl procedure.…”

An experiment was set up to investigate the morphological and physiological changes occurring in two white clover (Trifolium repens) (clover) varieties, AberHerald and Huia, growing in binary mixture with two perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) (grass) varieties, Preference and Ba 10761. Measurements were made on four occasions during winter/spring 1993?94. The statistical procedure of antedependence analysis was used to check for the existence of serial correlations among data from the different sampling dates. Evidence of antedependence was found in only three of the seventeen variables measured, and an order of antedependence for each of these was estimated. The antedependence structure providing the best fit to the data was then used in an analysis of covariance on the data set for that variable. The rest of the seventeen variables could be safely analysed by a split-plot analysis of variance for each sampling date separately. This result validated the sampling protocol used in the experiment.Peer reviewe

“…The main factor involved in the process of stolon breakdown and fragmentation is very low plant carbohydrate reserves in the spring (Hay et al. , 1989; Collins and Rhodes, 1995). Although the process of stolon breakdown is initiated by the plant, management of spring grazing can also have a significant effect on the degree of fragmentation that occurs.…”

Single pugging events, which involve remoulding of the soil around the hooves of livestock during treading, of moderate or severe pugging intensity were imposed in plots in a long-term white clover-ryegrass pasture during spring, by using dairy cows at varying stocking rates (4AE5 cows 100 m )2 for 1AE5 or 2AE5 h respectively). Changes in the growth and morphology of white clover were investigated over the following 12 months. Defoliation at approximately 3-week intervals was carried out by mowing. Annual herbage production was reduced following moderate and severe pugging proportionately by 0AE16 and 0AE34 compared with the non-pugged control treatment. The corresponding decreases in white clover production were 0AE09 and 0AE52 respectively. Annual perennial ryegrass production was reduced by 0AE37 under severe pugging. Pugging had an immediate adverse effect on growth of white clover which persisted for up to 156 d, and coincided with a large decrease in the proportion of white clover in herbage over the same period (e.g. 0AE40 vs. 0AE12, in control and severely pugged treatments, respectively, on day 112). In comparison, recovery in ryegrass growth was apparent after 50 d in severely pugged treatments, indicating that white clover is more vulnerable to severe pugging than perennial ryegrass. Analysis of individual white clover plants extracted from turves (300 mm · 300 mm) showed that direct hoof damage, fragmentation and burial of stolons were the major factors which reduced white clover production, rather than the changes in soil physical properties measured. Morphological characteristics associated with plant size (e.g. stolon length, growing points, and leaf numbers) all decreased under pugging. The situation had reversed by late summer, with larger plants dominating pugged plots, and coincided with the recovery of the proportion of white clover in herbage. Strategic pasture management practices, such as restricted grazing and the use of stand-off pads when soils are overly wet, are suggested as means of minimizing treading damage to pasture and reducing negative impacts on the growth and productivity of white clover.
