Claim · model-written summary
Early spring stolon loss was attributed to root cutting and heaving, soil erosion, and direct cold injury to exposed stolons.
Verbatim
e0“The stolon number reduction which occured in early spring were caused by the cutting and heaving of root and soil erosion by the alternate freezing and thawing in the upper soil layer and by the direct cold injury to bare stolon originated in the frequent alternation of air temperature at above and below freezing point in this season.”

Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Ladino white clover stolon numbers declined more in early spring than during winter.
- Association Spring-to-summer cutting yields and recovery intervals were proportional to early spring stolon reduction.
- Association Early spring stolon reduction rate and first-cut stolon number each correlated significantly with annual dry matter yield.
- Association The correlation between yield at each cut and annual yield weakened over successive cuts.
- Association At the last autumn cut, yield did not significantly correlate with annual yield.
