White clover (Trifolium repens L.) is a forage used in the composition of crop system models. The objective of this study was to investigate the selectivity of herbicides on white clover seedlings, applied at the first trifoliate growth expanding. It was carried out an experiment in randomized blocks, with 19 treatments and three replications. White clover can be considered as tolerant to bentazon + imazethapyr, imazethapyr, bentazon and 2,4-D, because it was observed biomass production higher than 1.300 kg ha-1 in those treatments and phytotoxicity lower than 25% at 84 days after herbicides sprayed on seedling under phenological stage of plants expanding the first trifoliate.
