Weed Control in Establishing Birdsfoot Trefoil

Extract
Lack of seedling vigor is a serious limitation to obtaining adequate stands of birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.). Slow seedling growth makes establishment difficult because competition from weeds or companion crop plants often eliminates the young legume seedlings soon after they emerge. Gist and Mott found that birdsfoot trefoil grows much more slowly than alfalfa and red clover under identical light intensities. Seedlings not eliminated are greatly reduced in size and are susceptible to injury during the winter.
