Abstract
Influence of drought was studied upon stolonation, node formation and rooting on an individual basis, using two strains of 8 x ladino clover, polyphyllous and large leaf type (A) and oligophyllous and small leaf type (B), grown under wet and dry soil conditions. From the results, as shown in Fig. 1 and Table 1, drought affects harmfully on the plant spread, especially clearly on stolon number and number of rooting nodes. As heigh foliage yield of ladino clover is mainly determined by these characteristics, soil water content is considered to be one of the most important factors to elevate its productivity.
