Breeding Potential for Forage Yield and Seed Yield Tetraploid Versus Diploid Strains of Red Clover (Trifolium pratense)1

H. L. Thomas2

In comparisons between tetraploid and related diploid red clover (Trifolium pratense) strains, the tetraploids averaged higher in forage but lower in seed yield. Wide genetic variability among and within the tetraploid strains indicated a good possibility for progress in selection.

Key Words: Induced polyploidy • Colchicine
