Synopsis Seeding without a companion crop, reducing competition from companion crop by grazing and the use of selective herbicides are means of increasing chances of successful establishment of birdsfoot trefoil. Pre‐emergence applications of TCA or post‐emergence dalapon have controlled grassy weeds and enhanced survival and vigor of trefoil seedlings. A combination of dalapon and 4(2,4‐DB) has shown promise of controlling grasses and many broadleaf weeds without serious injury to the trefoil.
