Abstract

Arrowleaf clover (Trifolium vesiculosum Savi.) is an annual pasture legume for grazing and fodderproduction with deep roots, high spring biomass and readily harvestable seeds. Poor winter growth ofpresent cultivars, however, limits early season feed availability and makes them susceptible to weedcompetition. Twenty seven wild accessions and 8 cultivars of arrowleaf clover were grown in a commongarden to investigate winter biomass diversity and their relationships with eco-geographic variables of theircollection sites. Important variation was observed for seed weight and winter biomass production. Winterbiomass was significantly correlated with summer temperature. These results will assist the development ofarrowleaf clover cultivars with improved winter biomass.
