Clover King Deer Food Plot Seed

Clover King is the ideal perennial blend for attracting deer. Makes a great deer food plot seed as it is 90% clover with 10% alfalfa for extra flavor and palatability. This mixture of clover and alfalfa will provide approximately 30% protein for the majority of the year for increased antler growth. A single planting can last up to 5 years without re-seeding. Clover King deer food plot seed gives you up to 5 years of deer-attracting and growing benefits from the effort of just one planting. Plus, it's heat-resistant, disease-resistant, and cold-tolerant to endure changing conditions.

Mixture contains approximately the following seeds:

• 50% New Zealand White Clover
• 40% Ladino Clover
• 10% Alfalfa

New Zealand White Clover is the ideal variety for a combination of grazing and cutting. Haifa is early in spring growth and will yield equally over the summer period. Haifa is listed in Switzerland and viewed there as being the best white clover for winter-hardiness. New Zealand has shown to have good cold tolerance and a high resistance to the diseases that attack clovers in mild winters with changing temperatures. New Zealand has medium to large leaves with a strong and erect growth making it an ideal deer food plot seed. White Clover can be planted in the spring or the fall. If planted in the fall, allow at least 8 weeks before the killing frost. Frost seeding also works well.

A large white clover (terrific deer food) which makes up about half the total white clover acreage in the U.S. Its high nutritive value and palatability make it a popular choice in pasture mixtures. It is not deep rooted, and will not tolerate much drought. It is two to four times as large as common white clover so it can produce much more forage then common white clovers.

Alfalfa is one of the most important legumes used in agriculture. However, alfalfa has a wide range of adaptation and can be grown from very cold northern plains to high mountain valleys, from rich temperate agricultural regions to Mediterranean climates and searing hot deserts. Alfalfa lives from three to twelve years, depending on variety and climate. It is a cool season perennial legume, growing to a height of about 3 feet. It resembles clover with clusters of small purple flowers. It also has a deep root system sometimes stretching to 15 feet. This makes it very resilient, especially to droughts. Alfalfa is very high in protein which makes it a great addition to any deer food plot seed blend.

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.
