Sažetak
The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of soil on early growth of three white clover (Trifolium repens L.) cultivars obtained from three different countries and to examine relationships between pre-screened traits of seedlings and traits of three month old plants. Pre-screening for germination, temperature and pH tolerance indicated that temperature and pH decrease significantly influenced on germination and seedling growth of cultivars. In conditions of spring temperatures higher than average soil substrate and two different soils collected from a different source plots influenced on emergence, plant width, internode length of stolon, leaf number, leaf-petiole weight and stolon weight of clovers. Pre- screened germination energy and germination were significantly correlated with emergence, plant height, internode length of stolon, petiole length and flower number of three month old plants.
