Too chicken to try it but Ed Spin would spray 1 cup Gly per 4 gals water (don’t quote me on it, research it first) on established clover in late spring. It would knock the clover back a little but wipe out most everything else. Clover would then bounce back. I think he recommended 1 quart glyphosate per acre. I tried that once too late during a drought and it didn't work. I think spraying during May or early June would likely work well though If you are planning to replant regardless j think you have nothing to lose. Just don't frost seed a month prior to that of you will kill the new clover seedlings.

From Ed
spraying 1 qt./acre roundup directly on the clover, will kill the grass, set back the clover, and 4-6 weeks later, depending on the weather, the clover may look better than ever. And Roundup is materially less toxic and less persistent than Vantage.

Where is Poppy when you need her?
The new guy has no clue what is going on. That sucks for him!
I spray clover with gly. It often doesn't die. That's at 3oz or 5oz per gallon... ish.
I'm going to go one step further and say that I LIKE weeds in my clover. Suck it!

Ok, how about something helpful for this poor guy? Yes, I am a cat, but don't be intimidated by that. I seek to build bridges between our people, and I eat all the mosquitoes that get in the cabin. *********** Now, there is the globe earth way of the jug and plow to solve problems. It says big ag has some potion to enable us to kick the can down the road and alleviate us of the struggles of managing for whole-system fertility. Grasses come because there is a void in your soil food web. Some nutrients are left unused that give the grass an advantage over the clover. Now clover shouldn't be all alone either. That's where multispecies mixes come in. Put a grass in there to slow down your grasses. If it's already gone, a shot of cereal grains isn't gonna fix the problem. But if you must, come back when you start over and mix in grasses (oats, barley, rye, wheat) and broadleaves (chicory, flax, buckwheat, plantain, dandelion, brassicas, collards, pumpkins, squash). Make it diverse so nature doesn't do it for you. And as for gypsum. Not putting it on is like sending your troops into battle without boots and bullets. Give your clover the tools and it will win. extension.msstate.edu/publications/information-sheets/secondary-plant-nutrients-calcium-magnesium-and-sulfur

Nothing better than letting natives do the work for ya.

We gotta go through this again? It’s on the label. Just so everyone knows, It is only legal to spray 26% cleth on clover in the states of Washington, Oregon and Idaho. Be aware.

Now with that being said, I have heard of guys spraying a 1/2 rate of Glyphosate on established clover to kill grasses. Clover gets stung but comes back great. For those that have tried this method that is.....

I must have missed that thread, and not read that part of the label. Did a quick Google search and found that now myself. I could use it in my pumpkin plot it appears.

For those that have tried this method that is..... Is glyphosate labeled for that purpose? The 1 qt. gly/acre has worked okay for me on well established clover on heavier soil. It hasn't done so well on lighter soil for me. The clover doesn't seem to be as resilient on the lighter soils. Getting some decent rain the weeks after spraying is also pretty important.
