Differences in the Ripening of Two Clover Species and the Effect of Pre-harvest Desiccation

Experiments were focused on differences in the ripening of crimson clover (Trifoliumincarnatum L.) and red (Trifolium pratense influence pre-harvest treatment with desiccants. The drying leaves, stems heads during ripening, regrowing, breakdown yield parameters including seed compared. exhibited natural faster than clover. In clover, before harvest was 80 - 100%, 50– 95%, 100 %, respectively. 25 84 20–72% 45–99%, There also regrowing heads. treatments effect diquat compared efficiency other herbicide substances (pyraflufen-ethyl, carfentrazone-ethyl pelargonic acid) a high dose DAM fertilizer (liquid fertilizer, urea-ammonium nitrate). Compared diquat, slower active substances. Significant effects tested yield, WTS (weight thousand seeds) germination not recorded.
