Abstract
Evaluation of several herbicides for the control of alfalfa and red cl over in a legume-corn no-tin system showed that spring burn-down of th e legumes may be preferred to fall burn-down. Spring application gave similar or greater control of these species than fall applications. Tr eatments with dicamba (3,6-dichloro-2-methoxybenzoic acid) at 0.6 kg h a(-1) were the most effective in controlling red clover and alfalfa.
