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.
