Summary White clover appears to be much more sensitive, in terms of dry-matter production, to variations of soil moisture than Italian ryegrass. The results show that a variation of 5 in the percentage of water (moist-soil basis) on either side of the field-capacity figure can cause a statistically significant effect in the dry weight of Italian ryegrass in pot culture, although a slightly larger percentage may be necessary for white clover to be affected as standard errors in pot culture with this crop tend to be higher. With an adequate supply of soil phosphorus the greater the amount of readily available water the greater the percentage of P2O5 in Italian ryegrass; with white clover it rises to a maximum then falls off under very wet Statistically significant differences in percentage P2O5 for both crops can be obtained whit those variations in the water supply which caused significant differences in dry weight.
