Abstract

While establishing birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L., var. Viking), the following weed control treatments were compared for effectiveness: (A) ethyl N,N-dipropylthiocarbamate (EPTC) impregnated on granular fertilizer and applied through the placement assembly of a grain drill during planting; (B) EPTC applied as a spray before planting and incorporated by multiple disking; (C) a combination of treatments A and B. All treatments involving EPTC controlled annual grasses. Where perennial grasses and sedges were abundant, treatment C was more effective than the others. All three methods resulted satisfactory birdsfoot trefoil establishment.
