Verbatim
e0“An experiment was conducted whereby two accessions of white clover (Trifolium repens, Chiswick and Ladino) were grown in pots in a P deficient soil fertilized with a low (P5 [kg ha-1]) or high (P40) P application rate”
e6“The changes in length, diameter and number of roots in the two accessions examined in this study, with time, in response to P, reflect some form of coordination. Chiswick tended to produce many short roots whilst Ladino fewer long roots”

Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Ladino tops yield was higher than Chiswick at P40 after 40 days.
- Observation Dry weight of tops did not differ between the two P rates until day 28.
- Intervention effect Root dry weight increased with increasing P application rate.
- Observation Root growth differed significantly only at the 16 and 34 day harvests at P5.
- Association P uptake was positively correlated with shoot and root dry weight.
- Association P uptake was negatively correlated with mean root diameter.
- Observation Only small differences in P uptake per unit root length were measured.
- Mechanism Total root length or root extension rate is suggested to be the primary determinant of total P uptake in these accessions.
- Mechanism Changes in root length, diameter and number suggest some form of coordination between the two accessions.
