Trinexapac-ethyl timing and rate effects on crimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum L.) seed yield and seed yield components

Creator:

Morad, Mohammed

Abstract:

Oregon is the world’s leading producer of crimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum L.) seed. Recent research has reported that seed yield has been increased in cool-season grass and red clover (T. pratense L.) seed crops with the application of trinexapac-ethyl, a gibberellic acid biosynthesis inhibiting plant growth regulator (PGR) and lodging-control...
