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 20 to 25 lbs/acre.
