- Intervention effect Moist soil significantly enhanced white clover growth.
- Intervention effect Moist soil significantly enhanced root weevil larval numbers recovered per plot.
- Observation Dry soil dominated effects attributable to other treatments.
- Observation More root weevil larvae, about 10.5%, developed in moist soil.
- Intervention effect Clover tolerated larvae in moist soil without significant shoot production losses.
- Intervention effect Root weevil larvae significantly lowered clover shoot/root ratio by 50% on average.
- Intervention effect Mineral soil increased clover dry matter production significantly.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen application significantly increased clover dry matter production.
- Intervention effect Challenge produced significantly more clover dry matter than Prop.
- Intervention effect Cutting regime had a minor influence on clover production at P < 0.10.
- Intervention effect The influence of Olsen-P level on clover production was not significant.
