Abstract:Field experiments were conducted in a predominantly summer rainfall environment to investigate burr burial, seed production, seed characteristics, seedling emergence and survival, and the effects of time of sowing on 3 Trifolium subterraneum var. brachycalycinum lines (cv. Clare and 2 local lines). Each line produced more surface than buried burrs; surface burrs were 59% (range 56-62%) of the total number of burrs recovered and produced 59% of the total seed number. Numbers of seeds per burr were similar for s… Show more
