New Zealand White Clover Seed

 New Zealand White Clover

New Zealand white clover is a perennial, highly palatable, often used in pasture mixures west of the Cascade range. As a pasture plant, white clover yields are greatest in mild humid climates. Best adapted to well-drained silt loam and clay soils with a pH range from 6.0 to 7.0 in humid and irrigated areas. With adequate soil moisture and fertility, it can be grown on sandy soils. It is not tolerant of saline or highly alkaline soils. The plant is shallow-rooted, seldom goes deeper than 2 feet. For pastures, white clover is almost always seeded with grass to prevent bloat and reproductive problems. The flower color is usually white, but may be slightly pinkish.

Inoculant - Our clover seed is NOT preinoculated. Inoculation must take place within 24 hours prior to planting; therefore, it is impossible to preinocluate seed. Companies that claim there seed is preinoculated are stretching the truth greatly. The seed may have been inoculated, but it will do NO good due to that fact that all the rhizobia would be dead by the time you plant your seed. For your convenience, we do sell inoculant seperately at this link: Inoculant. However, inoculation has NO effect on germination and is rarely needed. Inoculant is normally only used in certain cover crop situations where extra nitrogen fixation is required or in very, very poor soil conditions.

Seeding rate 6 to 8 lbs/acre.
