EDINO clover is rapidly attaining a position of importance among forage plants in Wisconsin. It is used principally for pasture but it is also valuable for hay and silage when grown in mixtures with other grasses and legumes. The high price of seed and the seeding of large acreages of Ladino clover have resulted in increasing interest in the possibility of producing seed under soil and climatic conditions such as prevail in Wisconsin. Tesar and Ahlgren (1) have shown that management of Ladino clover has a profound effect on the production of forage, and Medler and Chamberlin (2) reported that the control of injurious insects on Ladino clover results
