Abstract
The study was carried out from 1954 to 1956 in order to compare artificially induced 4n with 2n ladino clover from commercial seed in their yields and chemical compositions. The summarized results in 1956 were as follows; 1) Cutting treatments were two (C2), three (C3) and four times (C4) per season. There was remarkable difference in yield of C4 and C3 against C2 treatment. (Table I.) 2) Green yield of 4n plants was about 20% more than the yield of 2n. (Table I.) 3) 4n ladino clover was higher in moisture content about 2-4 % and was lower in protein content about 4-15 % on dry matter base than 2n. (Table 6.) 4) No significant difference was found in protein yield between 4n and 2n ladino clover. (Fig.5)
