| Abstract/Contents: | "When grown in association with grasses, legumes fix significant amounts of atmospheric nitrogen for plant use. Warm season turfgrasses which go dormant during the winter months are normally overseeded with cool season grasses for ground cover. The purpose of this experiment was to study establishment and performance of 'La. S-1' White clover (Trifolium repens L.) overseeded into a `Tifway' bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.) turf. At monthly intervals from 23 September 1981 through 8 March 1982 inoculated White clover was hand seeded at planting rates of 500, 1000, or 1500 pure live seed (PLS)/m2. Plots were verticut (blades spaced 2.5 cm apart) or not verticut prior to seeding. After establishment, plots were irrigated and mowed at 7.5 cm with a mulching mower as needed. Best plant stands were obtained at 1500 PLS/m2. Verticutting prior to seeding had a greater affect on rate of legume ground cover establishment than legume seedling stands. Plant stands from October planting were 1.8 times greater in verticut plots, whereas no verticut plots had better seedling stands in January planting. Rates of legume ground cover were superior in verticut plots throughout the season. Best rates of ground cover were produced at 1500 PLS/m2, although interactions of planting rate X month were found. Legumes planted in September 1981 produced the highest bermudagrass clipping weights during the 1982 summer. The amount of N fixed by White clover in the best treatments was insignificant and produced inferior bermudagrass turf qualtiy the following summer compared to standard N fertilization. The practice of winter overseeding bermudagrass with legumes may have merit only on golf course roughs or other low maintenance turfgrass areas. Value of this practice for overseeding golf course fairways should be reevaluated if fertilizer availability and cost become problems. If desired, verticut in one direction prior to overseeding 1000 PLS/m2 of White clover in late September." |
