Synopsis Removal of spring and early summer forage growth of birdsfoot trefoil does not result in increased seed yields of birdsfoot trefoil as compared to unclipped stands. Higher seed yields of birdsfoot trefoil may be expected if meadow spittlebug, lygus bug, and potato leafhoppers are controlled.
