Influences of number and type of selected plants on performance of cultivars in red clover and birdsfoot trefoil.

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.
