Red claver (Trifolium pratense) and birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus) are leguminous forage species of demonstrated economic value. They are cross-pollinated, largely self-incompatible or self-sterile and highly heterozygous. Attempts at the improvement of red clover through plant breeding have occurred since the beginning of the century in a number of countries chief amongst which are Scandinavia, Great Britain, the United States and Canada. Interest in the employment and improvement of birdsfoot trefoil is fairly recent.
