Objective/Rationale: To evaluate crop tolerance of Alsike clover and weed control efficacy of spring-applied herbicides in support of registration under the Minor Use Program.

Northeast Saskatchewan is the centre of forage seed production in the province. Red clover is the largest forage seed crop after alfalfa. Alsike clover is also commonly grown for seed in the area. These clover crops, when harvested for seed, fit well into crop rotations.

Project Objectives: SFSDC wanted to determine if there are any residual effects of planting meadow bromegrass in alternate rows with wheat on seed yield of the forage in the second year of seed production.

Project Objectives: SFSDC wanted to demonstrate the importance of controlling Noxious and hard to control weeds such as cleavers and wild oats in established forage legume seed crops. The project used registered herbicides, including those registered under the minor use registration program, for weed control.

Project Objectives: SFSDC wanted to demonstrate the effectiveness of using alternate row companion crop planting when establishing forage seed crops. The project demonstrated the agronomic and economic advantages of alternate row planting using presently available equipment technology.
