A study of the combining ability of red clover clones and their use in a breeding program.

Red clover, Trifolium pratense L., belongs to the family Leguminosae. It is one of that group of plants called the legumes which are so important, in agriculture especially when the feeding of animals is the major enterprise. Here the legumes excel, not only because of the superior forage which they are capable of producing, but also because of their ameliorating effects on the soil. Red clover is a very worthy member of this group of plants and according to Clark and Malte (1913) "no other forage plant has been so important to agriculture as has red clover."
