Extract

The first step in a satisfactory forage-legume program on the farm is the establishment of the legume. Success or failure here can mean the difference between a continued efficient rotation system and a financial loss. Many farmers have been reluctant to plow up old seedings at the proper time because of the cost of new seedings and the possibilities of seeding failures. Also, new seedings may appear successful in the seeding year only to be lost during the first winter. This paper is a report of 3 years' study at Ithaca, New York, on the use of herbicides applied pre-emergence to aid in the establishment of forage legumes without a companion grain crop.
