| Question: | "At present (June) a large quantity of clover is appearing in our creeping bent greens, which are three years old. We have used a strong application of sulphate of ammonia to rid the greens of the clover, but this has seemed to give it more vitality. Would an application of arsenate of lead be more satisfactory?" |

| Source of Question: | Wisconsin |

| Answer/Response: | "We have never had proof that arsenate of lead will control clover and do not believe it has any particular value for that purpose. Late spring and summer is not the best time of the year to do much with clover. However, with the advent of early fall and its better growing conditions clover can be markedly set back by dusting the patches with sulphate of ammonia early in the morning when the dew is on the turf. This will severely burn the clover. As soon as burning of the clover is apparent the green should be watered to prevent injury to the grass roots that may be in or around the clover patches that have been treated. Clover is frequently introduced into greens through top-dressing material. Manure usually contains clover seed. We would recommend that you set out some flats of your top-dressing material to see whether or not clover germinates in it, and if so to take steps to procure top-dressing material that proves to be free from viable clover seed." |
