| Question: | "What information have you as regards the use of sulphate of aluminum for ridding putting greens of clover?" |

| Source of Question: | Ohio |

| Answer/Response: | "In some work we have done with sulphate of aluminum we have severely injured grass, and we do not believe it is safe to use it on turf in the control of clover. For the purpose of ridding putting greens of patches of clover the following treatment has proved satisfactory. With the advent of fall and its better growing conditions, clover can be considerably set back by dusting the patches of it with sulphate of ammonia early in the morning when the dew is on the grass. This will severely burn the clover. As soon as the burning of the clover is apparent the green should be watered to prevent the chemical's injuring the roots of grass that may be in or around the clover patches. Much can be done to enable turf grasses to compete with clover by regular fertilizing so as to keep up the nitrogen supply in the soil. Organic fertilizers high in nitrogen should be used in the spring and fall, supplemented during the remainder of the season by occasional light applications of nitrogen in a soluble form, such as sulphate of ammonia. Attention must also be given to preventing the introduction of clover seeds to a green in top-dressing material. Manure usually contains clover seed. Before being used, top-dressing material should be tested for the presence of clover seed, by setting out flats of the material and keeping them under growing conditions to see whether or not clover develops in the flats." |
