White clover is a species of clover native to Europe, North Africa and West Asia. It has been widely introduced elsewhere in the world as a pasture crop. It grows in turfgrass, crops and landscapes. It is also found in a wide range of different field type environments. It can grow on many different types and pHs of soil, but prefers clay. White clover is relatively shallow rooted, with most roots in the top 20 cm of soil, although some roots extend to a depth of 1 m or more; clones expand through the adventitious rooting of stolons. The plants extensive root system makes the soil more friable, improving tilth and water infiltration. This book elaborately describes the structure and functions of white clover root systems. It will be highly beneficial to students, teachers and researchers of plant science and allied fields.
