Abstract

Seed fields of white clover (Trifolium repens L. ‘New Zealand’ and ‘Louisiana S-1′) were treated with the dimethylamine salt and the isooctyl ester of 4-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)-butyric acid (2,4-DB). Rates of application were 0.56, 1.12, and 1.68 kg/ha. Applications were made at the vegetative, bud, and flowering stages of growth. All treatments applied at the vegetative and bud stages of growth significantly reduced white clover seed production. Reductions in clover seed production usually became more severe as the rate of 2,4-DB increased.
