Medium Red Clover
Our Products: Cover Crops > Medium Red Clover
A versatile short-lived perennial clover; when used
as a green manure, it can provide up to 100#/acre of nitrogen for the next
crop. Plant in late summer with a nurse crop or frost seed in early spring
(February or March) Tolerates shade and dry conditions when getting
established; forms taproots that help prevent soil compaction. Does better in
acidic soils than alfalfa. Red clover supports beneficial insects including
lady beetles, green lacewing larvae, and hover flies. Makes nutritious hay or
pasture. Seed at 10#/acre alone or 6#/acre mixed with oats. Frost seed at
15-20#/acre or ½#/1000 sq. ft. Pre-inoculated with N-Tex (OMRI).
