- Intervention effect Stolon, petiole and lamina growth of white clover were reduced to some extent under water stress relative to control columns.
- Intervention effect Water stress had no effect on vegetative growth of white clover when nitrate was supplied.
- Observation A considerably reduced absolute growth rate did not result in a similar decrease in final organ size of white clover.
- Association Leaf death during water stress was as important as changes in growth in determining final dry matter yield of white clover.
- Intervention effect Petiole and lamina yield from plants grown without supplied nitrate on water stress columns was lower than that of stolon.
- Observation The two water deficit regimes gave comparable results for white clover.
- Intervention effect The short-term stress reduced plant water status of white clover to −2·0 MPa over 15 days.
- Intervention effect Mild water stress columns reduced leaf water potential of white clover by 0·35 MPa in the more severe treatment.
- Observation The mild water stress levels in white clover were maintained for several weeks.
- Observation The absolute growth of white clover plants on the control columns was maintained throughout the experimental period.
