Description

White clover (Trifolium repens L.) is the most important for­age legume for perennial pastures in the southeastern United States. Commonly, white clover stands decline within 2 to 3 years after seeding. This decline has been reported to be due to many factors including fungal diseases (Graham et al., 1961 ; James et al., 1980) insects (Graham et al., 1961 ; James et al., 1980), viruses (Kreitlow et al., 1957; Barnett and Gibson, 1977), and root-knot nematodes (Baxter and Gibson, 1959). No studies have evaluated effects of combinations or interac­tions of these factors on white clover growth in the field. The objective of this study was to evaluate effects of insecticide, fungicide, peanut stunt virus, and southern root-knot nema­tode [Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid & White) Chitwood] treatments, alone and in all combinations, on white clover yield, persistence, and forage quality.
