Abstract
The aluminium (Al) tolerance of white clover (Trifolium repens L.) lin es that had either long or short root hair lengths were evaluated in l ow ionic strength (2.7 x 10(-3) M) solution culture. Absolute yield of the long root hair length plants was greater than the short root hair length plants at all Al rates by, on average, 34%. However, increasin g root hair length had no significant (P<0.05) effect on relative Al t olerance.
