Flowering in Crimson Clover as Affected by Planting Date.

Understanding factors that affect flowering of crimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum L.) could improve management decisions to optimize utilization by improving season of use. The experiment was a split-plot randomized complete block design with three replications at College Station, TX, in the 1997-1998 and 1999-2000 growing seasons, and Overton, TX, in the 1998-1999 growing season.

Rate of Leaf Appearance in Crimson Clover.

Understanding factors that affect growth and development of crimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum L.) are important for the development of management practices to optimize forage utilization. In a 3-yr field experiment at College Station, TX, we evaluated the effects of planting date on rate of leaf appearance of an intermediate- and late-maturing crimson clover.
