The northern root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne hapla, is a major pest of many crop species. The objective of the study was to determine how M. hapla population dynamics is affected by two precrops, i.e., Trifolium pratense and Medicago sativa, in three crop durations: one, two and three years of continuous cultivation. Moreover, we set ourselves the task of evaluating the effect of the legume precrop soil on the growth of the succeeding tomato plant (Solanum lycopersicum) and on the nematode population. The experiment was performed outdoors in pots with naturally infected soil. Both precrop species investigated were found to modify the J2 nematode population density in the soil. The galls and nematode females with egg masses were observed on the roots of both studied plant species at the end of each growing season. They appeared to be more abundant on the red clover roots than on those of the alfalfa. The obtained data indicate that the spring soil sampling is more appropriate for the estimation of the M. hapla population density in the red clover precrop soil. The legume precrop soil had a limiting effect on tomato growth and fruit yield. The nematode population negatively influenced tomato growth. The experiment revealed that tomato plants could be planted in alfalfa precrop soil following at least three years of continuous alfalfa cultivation. The same cannot be said of the cultivation of red clover as a precrop for tomatoes.

The composition of the volatile fraction of two important forage legumes from Italian sub-alpine N.E. pastureland, namely Trifolium pratense L. subsp. pratense (red clover) and T. repens subsp. repens (white clover) were investigated. The volatile oil was obtained from the fresh aerial parts by steam distillation and analyzed by GC/FID and GC/MS. The oil yield was 0.018 and 0.021% (weight/fresh weight basis) for T. pratense and T. repens, respectively. Several classes of compounds were found in both the oils, including alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, terpenes, esters, hydrocarbons, phenolics and acids. Qualitative and quantitative differences were found.

This study aimed to estimate the effects of cold plasma (CP) and electromagnetic field (EMF) treatment of red clover (Trifolium pratense) seeds with different coat colors on germination kinetics, the content of seed phytohormones, and the growth of seedlings. Seeds of red clover cultivar ‘Arimaiciai’ were treated with radio-frequency EMF or capacitively coupled low-pressure CP for different durations. There were no differences in germination kinetics between yellow, brown, and dark purple seeds in control, but the germination rate of seeds treated with CP and EMF depended on seed color: The germination of yellow seeds was stimulated stronger compared to dark purple and brown seeds, and EMF did not stimulate germination in brown seeds. The content of phytohormones in control seeds and the shift in their amount induced by seed treatments were also strongly dependent on seed color. No relationship was found between the effect on germination kinetics and changes in phytohormone levels. In the control, seedlings growing from the yellow seeds were heavier, and the number of root nodules was 12.5 times larger compared to seedlings of dark purple seeds. Seed treatments with CP and EMF significantly increased the number of root nodules, and this effect was stronger in seedlings from dark purple seeds compared to those from yellow seeds.

An unknown virus was isolated from a young red clover plant (Trifolium pratense) with a bright yellow leaf mottle and subsequently was isolated from five other field clover plants with milder symptoms growing in three locations. In the laboratory, red clover became systemically infected by the virus only when the plants were kept between 10 and 16 °C after inoculation, and symptoms were mild. Crimson clover (T. incarnatum) was readily invaded at room temperature, and survivors of the initial shock reaction were severely mottled. White clover (T. repens) and Alsike clover (T. hybridum) did not become systemically infected under either temperature regime. The symptom common to all four species, necrotic spots in the inoculated primary leaves, suggested the name clover primary leaf necrosis virus. Among the nine leguminous and six non-leguminous host species, bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) was best suited for virus propagation, and cucumber (Cucumis sativus) was best suited for quantitative assay and detection.The virus was characterized by a single sedimenting species of spherical nucleoprotein particles with a sedimentation value, S20.w, of 136–137, an average diameter of 36 nm, and a specific extinction, E260 nm1%, 1 cm, of 58.15. The nucleic acid was of the ribose type and constituted 21% of the weight of the virion. Activity was lost from crude juice at 65 °C and from purified suspensions at 85 °C, with about 10% activity persisting between 60–70 °C. Two electrophoretic components were isolated from purified preparations. They induced identical symptoms in three hosts, but one replicated both components in bean and had more antigenic determinants than the other, which replicated itself only. The virus was weakly antigenic inducing an antiserum with titer of 128. Some of its in vitro properties were similar to those of carnation ringspot virus, but the two viruses were serologically unrelated. Nor was this virus serologically related to any of 15 other spherical viruses tested.

The amount of cultivated acid soil in Alberta and northeastern British Columbia was estimated from pH values of farm samples analyzed by the Alberta Soil Testing Laboratory, and the effect of soil acidity on crops was assessed from field experiments on 28 typical acid soils. The field experiments consisted of two cultivars of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and one cultivar each of rapeseed (Brassica campestris L.), red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) and alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) grown with and without lime for 2 yr. There are about 30,000 ha of soils with a pH of 5.0 or less where soil acidity seriously restricts yields of all four crop species. There are approximately 300,000 ha with a soil pH of 5.1–5.5 where liming will on the average increase yields of alfalfa by 100%, yields of barley by 10–15%, and yields of rapeseed and red clover by 5–10%. There are a further 1,600,000 ha where soil pH ranges from 5.6 to 6.0 and liming will increase yields of alfalfa by approximately 50% and yields of barley, rapeseed and red clover by at least 4–5%.
