Abstract
A field experiment was carried out in order to evaluate the yield, chemical composition and nutrimental value of two red clover morphotypes (new long-flowered strains 9 and 84) and cv. Nike. It was conducted in a 2-year period (1999–2000). In the successive harvest years, cv. Nike gave the forage yield of 16.3 and 10.1 kg/m2, and the yield of new morphotypes averaged 85 and 61% of these values, respectively. Leaves of long-flowered strains provided a larger part (46.6 and 51.8%, respectively) of the total forage yield compared with that of cv. Nike (44.2%). Protein content of leaves in long-flowered strains (24.2 and 23.9%, respectively) was similar to that in cv. Nike (23.5%). The stems of the strains contained slightly more protein than the stems of cv. Nike (12.3 and 13.7% vs. 11.5%). Red clover leaves were a richer source of essential amino acids than stems, and this difference was reflected by the respective EAAI values (leaves: 70.4–70.8; stems: 53.7–59.4). A negative relationship between annual forage yield and forage protein content, and a positive relationship between annual forage yield and forage lysine content, were found.
