Product Information
Medium Red Clover Seed is a cool season perennial clover commonly used for wildlife food plots, cattle forage, and cover crop applications. Medium Red Clover is a high nitrogen producing clover, fixing as much as 120 units per acre.
Medium Red Clover is a short-lived perennial used to supply nitrogen. Unlike other legumes, it fixes a lot of nitrogen, even in high nitrogen soils. It has shade tolerance so it can be overseeded into small grains and incorporated in May of the following year. Since Red Clover seedlings tend to be slow-growing, it benefits from a nurse crop. It forms taproots and is useful for remediation of compacted soils. Red Clover is also good for weed suppression.
This seed is coated with an inoculant. Medium Red Clover is non-GMO.
*Product packaging may appear different than what is pictured.
Medium Red Clover prefers cool weather conditions. This crop is well-adapted to a wide range of soil types and conditions. Medium red clover tolerates wet conditions better than vetch. It can be overseeded on small grains and, if the soil is not crusted, it can be overseeded in vegetable crops with no additional preparation to the land.
Drill or broadcast at 10 - 15 lbs per acre from fall through winter. Mow Medium Red Clover during the summer of the first year. It can be seeded between established rows, reducing soil compaction in well-traveled areas. Control blossoms by May, and incorporate when flowering.
Red Clover supports aphid predators such as lady beetles, green lacewing larvae and hoverfly larvae. To use as a nurse crop, seed with annual rye in June through July, buckwheat during August, and oats in September.
Medium Red Clover is also discussed in the articles on late summer legumes and early spring cover crops.
For best results, please review our Planting Guide and the specific product description before planting. Each product has recommended planting methods, timing, and seeding rates that are important for successful establishment. Following these guidelines will help ensure optimal performance and stand success.
