- Intervention effect All insecticide treatments significantly increased clover seed yield in 1959.
- Intervention effect In 1959, insecticide treatments other than DDT reduced larval root injury.
- Intervention effect Aldrin significantly reduced vascular root decay in 1958.
- Intervention effect Aldrin significantly reduced vascular root decay in 1959.

- Observation Some diseased plants had no insect injury and some healthy plants had insect injury.
- Observation Fusariurn oxysporurn was frequently isolated from diseased clover roots.
- Observation Verticillium albo-alrurn was frequently isolated from diseased clover roots.
- Observation An undescribed Phoma species was frequently isolated from diseased clover roots.
- Observation All three isolated fungal species were pathogenic to alsike clover.
- Mechanism Only Fusariurn species were known to exploit insect wounds for host penetration.
