The number and identity of species in a mixture are important factors for the mixture’s productivity. Little is known about the role of within-species genetic variation for the complementarity of the components. We established an experiment to investigate to what extent and how different genotypes of white clover (Trifolium repens L.) affect the mixture performance. Eight novel genotypes of white clover and one variety of Lolium perenne L. and Cichorium intybus L. each were grown as monocultures and in two- and three- species mixtures at two sites differing in soil fertility. All treatments were unfertilised. Above ground herbage was cut twice in the establishment year and four times in each of the two following years. At both sites, the binary mixture of white clover and C. intybus produced significantly higher DM yield than the other stands. Irrespective of the site effect, more than 80% of the mixtures showed transgressive overyielding. However, there was no significant interaction of white clover genotype × stand (i.e. monoculture or mixture) on the mixture performance; the white clover genotype that performed well in monoculture also did so in mixtures."],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/57011"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.publisher","EGF"],["dc.publisher.place","Ireland"],["dc.relation.conference","27th General Meeting of the European Grassland Federation"],["dc.relation.crisseries","Grassland Science in Europe"],["dc.relation.eventend","2018-06-21"],["dc.relation.eventlocation","Cork, Ireland"],["dc.relation.eventstart","2018-06-17"],["dc.relation.isbn","978-1-84170-643-6"],["dc.relation.isbn","978-1-84170-644-3"],["dc.relation.ispartof","Sustainable meat and milk production from grasslands"],["dc.relation.ispartofseries","Grassland Science in Europe; 23"],["dc.title","Does white clover genotype affect the performance of grass-clover mixtures?"],["dc.type","conference_paper"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
