Clover

In lawns

• Apply a selective herbicide such as LawnPro Turfclean Ultra, LawnPro Prickle and Hydrocotyleor LawnPro Turfclean. They will effectively kill clover but leave the lawn grass unaffected.
• Other options include LawnPro Turfclean & Green and All-in-1.
• For best results apply spray in Spring and Autumn when weeds are growing.

In garden beds

• Use Weed Weapon Extra Strength or Rapid Action to kill off the top growth. It controls clover within 7-10 days and is an ideal product for use around established trees and shrubs. It is inactive in the soil so planting can be safely carried out soon after treatment.
• If you wish to more effectively prevent regrowth, apply Weed Weapon Preventer  granules. This is a selective pre-emergent herbicide which penetrates deep into the soil so do not plant seeds or sensitive plants into treated soil within 3 months of application.
• For a fast acting organic solution use Kiwicare Weed Weapon Natural Power.
• For best results apply spray in Spring and Autumn when weeds are growing.

In Paths and Driveways

• For long term control on paths and driveways use Kiwicare Weed Weapon Long Term. This will kill a wide range of weeds and prevent regrowth for up to 12 months.
• For a fast acting organic solution use Kiwicare Weed Weapon Natural Power.
• For best results apply spray in Spring and Autumn when weeds are growing.

• Clover roots contain nodules in which are a symbiotic Rhizobium bacteria are able to fix atmospheric nitrogen and make it available to the plants. Farmers may encourage clovers in pastures to increase nitrogen levels in the soil and reduce the need for application of nitrogen fertilisers. The loss of bee numbers due to varroa mite and other bee diseases is of concern because bees pollinate the clover. If clover is not pollinated it will not spread in pasture and more nitrogen fertiliser would be required to keep up production and there would be a sizeable financial and ecological cost.
• Clovers or trefoil, are members of the genus Fabaceae. About 300 species of clover plants are in the leguminous pea family.
