Herbage Production, Nitrogen Fixation and Condensed Tannin Concentrations in \u3cem\u3eLotus glaber\u3c/em\u3e Mill. Germplasm

Lotus glaber (Lg) grows on clay, sandy and medium textured soils in central Chile (32º to 38º S). The diversity of environments where the species grows naturally supports the hypothesis that genetic variability would be found. The objectives of the experiment were to characterise accessions of Lg collected in the region for dry matter (DM) production, comparative capacity to fix atmospheric N and condensed tannins (CT) in Lg grown on clay soils used for cropping rice
