Ladino clover (Trifolium repens L.) is the most important perennial forage legume grown in North Carolina; however, stands often begin to decline within 2‐3 years after seeding. An entomological‐pathological complex has been reported as a major cause for decline of ladino clover. The objectives of this study were to determine the influence of benomyl [methyl l‐(butylcarbamoyl)‐2‐benzimidazolecarbamate] and carbofuran (2, 3‐Dihydro‐2, 2‐dimethyl‐7‐benzofuranyl methylcarbamate) applications on disease and/or insects which influence persistence of ladino clover.
The percent ground cover of ladino clover in control, benomyl, carbofuran, and carbofuran plus benomyl treated plots after 3‐1/2 years was 12, 24, 75 and 88%, respectively. Plants treated with carbofuran had less root injury from the clover root curculio (Sitona hispidula Fab.) than fungicide and check plots. Carbofuran and carbofuran plus benomyl applications decreased root and stolon rot and increased yield and persistence of ladino clover. None of the treatments significantly increased tap root longevity. Insect damage and root and stolon rot were highly correlated in plant samples collected throughout the experiment. Results indicate that a pathological‐entomological complex is a major factor involved with lack of persistence of ladino clover.
This article charts the evolution of the UK government's ambitious vision for the archive sector, Archives Unlocked. It traces the evolution of that vision from the roots of the audience-focused strategy of the UK National Archives, Archives Inspire. The authors place a particular emphasis on the process of co-creation and the emergence of the key strategic themes of trust, enrichment and openness. These global themes are brought to life by inspiring case studies and think-pieces while also being supported by a concrete action plan focused on clear deliverables and outcomes that will have the greatest impact. The authors argue that the archive sector is going through a paradigm shift from paper to digital, while observing that digital technology presents as many opportunities as it does challenges. The article reflects on what it means to be a disruptive digital archive and how this challenges some of the established norms of archival practice while also making the case for greater collaboration; arguing that the challenges and opportunities facing the sector can only be met by enhanced partnership working at the local, regional, national and international level. The authors believe that the approach adopted will not only allow archival content, in whatever format, to continue to enrich people's lives but also change the way that people think about archives.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
