Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Short grass stubble yielded twice as many clover seedlings as tall swards.
- Intervention effect Frequent defoliation facilitated clover establishment only with short stubble.
- Intervention effect Fertilization promoted hop clover.
- Association Hop clover may have negatively affected clover yield and white clover persistence in year 2.
