Abstract

An irrigated field trial was conducted to test the effects of white clover in three turfgrass species (perennial ryegrass, Kentucky bluegrass, and creeping bentgrass) on color, clipping yield, and botanical composition and to estimate nitrogen (N)(2) fixation and N transfer from white clover to associated turfgrass species under different N-fertilization conditions in 1999-2002.
