The effect of benomyl sprays on Sclerotinia trifoliorum and yield of red clover

Benomyl sprays, applied monthly from September to January, increased the survival and dry-matter yield of red clover and decreased the numbers of apothecia of Sclerotinia trifoliorum. Two sprays increased dry-matter yield in the first harvest year, if applied between October and December, but decreased yield in the second harvest year.
