Notes:
Summary Germination and growth responses of 15 early to midseason cultivars ofTrifolium subterraneum L. were determined at a range of irrigation water salinities (NaCl). There were significant cultivar differences in seed germination under standard conditions in the presence of pure solutions of NaCl from −10 to −330 kPa osmotic potential range. There were also significant cultivar differences in growth on a clay loam soil with increasing NaCl over the same range of osmotic potentials as used to test germination. There was a generally poor correlation between salt tolerance at germination and at later stages of growth.
