| Question: | "One of our bent greens is almost completely overrun with clover. What can we do to get rid of it?" |

| Source of Question: | Georgia |

| Answer/Response: | "Heavy spring and fall fertilizing gets the grass off to a good start in the spring and fills it in well in the fall after the summer setback; in this way the grass is able to offer considerable competition against clover. Nevertheless, once patches of clover become established it is necessary to treat them in a drastic manner. If you do not wish to cut out the clover and replace with pure turf, the best alternative is to dust the patches of clover with sulphate of ammonia early in the morning while the dew is still on the grass. Later in the morning it will be found that the clover leaves are turning yellow. At this time it is well to sprinkle the green in order to prevent the sulphate from burning the grass too severely. Frequent treatments of this kind will destroy the clover and replace the bent, as the bent will come back quickly." |
