PACIFIC NORTHWEST GRASS SEED cropping systems have historically relied on disturbance practices, large quantities of purchased agricultural chemicals, and open-field burning to establish new crops, control diseases and weeds, and dispose of postharvest residues to achieve high seed yields with good seed quality. Many of these historic systems have been continuous grass seed monocultures, and thus have lacked rotation crop diversity. In western Oregon, white clover grown for seed is one of several minor crops that can provide rotation crop options for grass seed production systems on poorly drained soils. For the production of economic amounts of good quality seed, ...
