Abstract/Contents: | SUMMARY: "Detailed measurement of irrigated ryegrass/white clover swards growing without interruption, with or without nitrogen fertilizer in spring, showed that the relative growth rate of clover was as great as that of grass, in the + N sward, and considerably greater than grass, in the - N sward. Clover leaves were not overtopped by grass leaves. Indeed, in both swards, clover had a greater proportion of its leaf lamina area in the upper, well lit, layers of the canopy than grass did. Consequently, clover had a greater mean rate of leaf photosynthesis in situ in the sward than grass. Clover's advantage in photosynthetic rate per leaf area was offset to some extent by its smaller ratio of leaf area to total above-ground dry weight than grass. The consequences of these results for our understanding of competition between grass and clover in mixed swards are discussed." |
