Stands, root lengths, root weights, and root−top ratios of birdsfoot trefoil, and botanical composition of orchardgrass−birdsfoot trefoil swards were not significantly influenced by 28 kg/ha (25 lb/A) of nitrogen starter fertilizer. In general, there was no significant influence of method of planting on “established” stands of birdsfoot trefoil. Seeding trefoil alone resulted in larger individual plants than when seeded with a grass.
