초지에서 white clover의 존속과 우점 모두가 문제시 되고 있다. 본시험은 white clover의 방목방법에 대한 정보를 제공하기 위하여 예취적기의 장?단(1주, 4주)과 이들의 교호가 white clover의 예취수량 및 형태적 특성에 미치는 영향과 이들간의 관계를 구명하고자 pot 시험으로 실시하였던바 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 예취적기 4적에 비하여 1적에서는 예취수량 및 주당엽면적과 엽수, 엽병장, 주당포복경장이 감소되나 g당포복경장과 Specific Leaf Area는 증가되었다. 2. 예취적기 1적와 4적를 교호할 경우 예취수량은 1적 또는 4적로 계속예취한 것의 중간정도이었으나 초기에 4적로 예취한 것에서 높은 수량을 보였다. 3. 예취적기를 교호할 경우 잎과 관련한 형질은 예취적기의 장단에 따라 변하였으나 포복경과 관련된 형질은 교호전 예취적기의 영향이 비교적 장기간 지속되었다. 4. 예취적기를 교호할 경우 예취수량은 주당 엽면적, 엽수 및 포복경장과 정의 상관을. SLA와 g당포복경장과는 부의 상관을 보였다.

White clover (Trifolium repens L) gives rise to either weak persistence or overdominance in the pastures. To get information on grazing method to surmount the problem, the experiment was done to measure the effect of infrequent, frequent and their alternations on harvest yield and morphological characteristics of the clover. Individual plants of Regal, Louisiana S-l, Grasslands Huia, and Aberystwyth S184 were grown in 22cm plastic pot containing a 2： 1： 1 soil： sand： Peat moss mixture for 27 days after transplanting 50-day seedlings raised on 3cm pots, and then their all fully expanded leaves are trimmed. Defoliation treatments were forced every 1 (CC, frequent), 4 week(RR,infrequent) or their alternations(CR, RC) after 8 weeks from the trimming. To analyze the treatment effects, plants were sampled on 4, 8, 12, and 16 weeks after the trimming. Harvest yield of infrequent defoliation (RR) was higher than that of frequent defoliation (CC). Leaf area and no. of leaves per plant, petiole length and stolon length per plant, moreover, showed the similar result to the yield but stolon length and leaf area per g were reverse. The alternation of infre-quent and then frequent defoliation (RC) had greater yield than that of their reverse (CR) although both alternations showed intermediate ones compared to CC and RR. Morphological characteristics, furthermore, related to the clover leaf were immediately changed by alternations of defoliation inter-val(RC and CR) while those done to the stolon were lasted longer thereafter(RC and CR). Harvest yields in RC and CR were positively correlated to leaf area and no. of leaves or stolon length per plant but negatively done to leaf area and stolon length per g. It is concluded that weak persistence or overdominance of white clover in pasture can be controlled by alternation of infrequent and then frequent defoliation or reverse.
