Comment:
Flail mowed red clover in the LTER treatment 4, all reps: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Flail mowed with JD 7420a tractor and JD 115 15' flail mower. We had such good growth of the red clover that we decided to mow the red clover before chiseling plowing the T4 plots. Without flail mowing we did not think the red clover would had been incorporated into the soil. Flail mowing prevented large clumps of clover on top/in the soil, preventing the clumps of clover allows for a better seedbed preparation.
