Weed Control in Establishing Birdsfoot Trefoil
Weeds, 1960LACK of seedling vigor is a serious limitation to obtaining adequate Lstands of birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.). Slow seedling growth makes establishment difficult because competition from weeds or companion crop plants often eliminates the young legume seedlings soon after they emerge.

Male sterility in birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.)
Sexual Plant Reproduction, 1989This paper describes six male steriles in birdsfoot trefoil. Data on the following characters were recorded on these plants and on two male fertile plants: chromosome number, presence of pollen at tripping, percentage of irregularly shaped anthers, percentage of anthers with acetocarmine stainable pollen inside, maximum range of percentage of pollen ...

Birdsfoot Trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.)
1990The genus Lotus (Leguminosae) consists of over 200 species, including xerophytic desert and alpine perennials and salt-tolerant annuals (Larsen 1958; Urbanska 1984). The regional center of origin for Lotus is probably the Mediterranean basin, where the greatest diversity of the species occurs. This complex genus has three basic chromosome numbers, 5, 6,

Quantification of Tannis in Birdsfoot Trefoil Germplasm
Crop Science, 1993Condensed tannins in birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.) have been detected, but not quantified extensively. The objective of this study was quantitative analysis of tannins in birdsfoot trefoil germplasm. Diverse accessions were evaluated at two locations and on three harvest dates, and their tissues were analyzed by near infrared reflectance ...

Inheritance of condensed tannins in birdsfoot trefoil
Canadian Journal of Plant Science, 1997Neither the inheritance of condensed tannins (CT) in tannin-positive birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.), nor the quantitative genetic analysis of CT concentration in a forage legume have been previously reported. The objective of this study was to determine the inheritance of CT concentration in tannin-positive birdsfoot trefoil. High-, medium-,

INHERITANCE OF NECTAR PRODUCTION IN BIRDSFOOT TREFOIL
Canadian Journal of Plant Science, 1982Significant differences in nectar production were observed among seven cultivars and one germplasm release of birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.). The cultivars Carroll and Leo were consistently higher and Maitland consistently lower in μ1 nectar/umbel produced.

Chemotaxis of deleterious rhizobacteria to birdsfoot trefoil
Applied Soil Ecology, 1999Abstract Intact seeds and seed and seedling root exudates of birdsfoot trefoil ( Lotus corniculatus L.) were used as chemoattractants in experiments to determine the relative importance of chemotaxis in spermosphere and rhizosphere colonization by selected rhizobacteria. Results for soft-agar, capillary tube and soil chemotaxis assays indicated that

Birdsfoot Trefoil Flowering Response to Photoperiod Length
Crop Science, 2002Birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.) is an indeterminate Old World perennial forage legume that is widely adapted to environments ranging from Scandinavia in the north to highlands near the equator in the south. Because of poor root and crown rot resistance, natural reseeding in pastures is desired.
