e0“white clover (Trifolium repens) is a key component of pastures”
e3“Three (S11N9, S20N7, S4N6) of nine isolates evaluated in two field trials in 2018–2019 significantly increased clover growth (12–38%) compared with paired uninoculated clover at several harvests”
e4“whereas inoculation with TA1 did not improve yield”

Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect About 40% of NZ isolates supported better clover growth than TA1 under N-limited conditions in vitro.
- Intervention effect Five Rlt isolates produced significantly higher clover biomass than TA1 in a glasshouse trial.
- Intervention effect Three of nine isolates (S11N9, S20N7, S4N6) increased clover growth by 12–38% compared with paired uninoculated clover in two field trials in 2018–2019.
- Intervention effect S11N9 and S20N7 increased clover growth compared with the uninoculated control at two of three harvests in a third trial in 2020.
- Intervention effect S4N6 performed better than TA1 at one harvest.
- Intervention effect Five Rlt isolates had higher symbiotic potential than TA1 across four white clover cultivars.
- Recommendation Inoculating white clover would be beneficial if improved inoculant isolates were available.
- Recommendation Some NZ Rlt isolates could be developed into commercial inoculants to improve white clover performance in NZ.
