    Nutrient storage in roots and rhizomes of hexaploid Caucasian clover

    Strachan, DE; Nordmeyer, AH; White, JGH
    Abstract
    Hexaploid Trifolium ambiguum M. Bieb. (Caucasian clover cv. Prairie) persisted and dominated in high country plots which received more than 100 kg P/ha at establishment. After 13 years the biomass of coarse roots (rhizomes and tap-roots) amounted to 20 t/ha. The contents of nutrients in the root fractions were approximately five times that in the herbage. This ability to retain nutrients in coarse roots may be a strategy that contributes to the dominance of Caucasian clover on this acid soil.
