Abstract：To explore effects of different light and water conditions on the growth characteristics of two varieties of white clover (Trifolium repens L),in this study two different varieties (TKPR and TNSP) were selected as the experimental objects. Through the greenhouse control experiment,3 light gradients and 3 water gradients were set for 9 combination treatments. The response characteristics of morphology,biomass accumulation,biomass allocation ratio,and plasticity indexes of white clover under different treatments were analyzed. The results showed that the measured characteristics of TKPR were significantly affected by light intensity,and TNSP was significantly affected by water intensity,light and water interaction. The relative growth rate of TNSP was higher than that of TKPR. The biomass accumulation of TNSP was higher than that of TKPR under suitable environment. The interaction between light and water had a greater influence on the flowering and propagation strategy of TKPR. Under the unfavourable environment,TKPR was more adaptable and TNSP was weaker. The study can provide some basic information for cultivating new varieties of white clover and efficient white clover production,cultivation and management.
