Prairie Clover (Dalea Candida White) - Start Prairie Clover seeds for an attractive, versatile, native perennial. Prairie Clover plants have pale green foliage with leaves that can vary from 2 - 7 inches in length. Sprouting from this foliage are short spikes of white flowers which are 1 - 3 inches in height and approximately 3/4 inch in diameter. The small flowers form a wreath around the bottom of the spike, which moves upward as the season progresses making White Prairie Clover very unique and attractive. The Prairie Clover seeds are lightly scented and very attractive to bees. They bloom early to mid-summer and last nearly 30 days.

Because Dalea Candida White Prairie-Clover has an extensive root system, it is not only drought tolerant, but it also is useful for erosion control on slopes, and it works well in naturalized landscapes. White Prairie Clover can have a taproot that extends up to five feet in the ground making it very drought tolerant. As a clover, and a legume, it is tolerant of poor soils and will improve the soil by fixating nitrogen. In addition, White Prairie Clover is palatable and high in protein and is readily consumed by deer and livestock.

Prairie Clover seeds are easy to grow and establish. The recommended sowing method is to sow the white Prairie Clover seed directly outdoors in the late fall. Prepare a clean weed-free seed bed. Sow the flower seed and lightly cover 1/16 inch. The Prairie Clover seeds will lie dormant through the winter, and will begin to germinate in the spring when temperatures warm. If rainfall is inadequate, water regularly until the Prairie Clover plants are well-established.

Persian Clover (Trifolium resupinatum) - eNhance Persian Clover is an annual legume that originated in the eastern Mediterranean area. It has a semi-upright growth habit. Persian clover will perform well on a wide range of soils and will tolerate poorly drained soils. It works well in grazing situations, but care should be taken as it can cause bloat. eNhance Persian Clover is possibly the most fragrant of all the clover species with a pleasantly sweet scent that may attract wildlife and livestock alike.

eNhance Persian Clover features improved root development speed, which in turn makes it more suitable for sandy soils than the typical persian clover. eNhance prefers soils that are slightly alkaline but is suitable for use in soils with a pH between 5.0 and 8.0. It has a moderate tolerance to salinity and  a notable root development speed that is similar to that of Daikon Radish making it highly suitable for sandier soils.

Improved seedling vigor allows eNhance to establish at a rate similar to Cereal Rye. The low C:N ratio makes it a good choice to mix with Cereal Rye as the contrasting ratios provide balance and help reduce the yield drag often experienced in corn following a cereal rye crop

Regrowth - eNhance Persian Clover has high forage yield and excellent regrowth following grazing or cutting. eNhance can be cut 2 to 3 times, but not closer than 4 inches to allow for vigorous regrowth. In irrigated fields the optimum cutting interval is approximately 6 weeks in the growing season, allowing dry matter yields of 5-6.5 tons an acre.

Grazing - eNhance is a very palatable and nutritious clover that works well in close grazing situations, but care should be taken as it may cause bloat. Sowing eNhance in a mixture with things like ryegrass or oats may reduce this risk. In trials, eNhance performed incredibly well, generating over 3,000 lbs. of dry matter per acre.

Wildlife Plots - eNhance Persian Clover is known to be highly digestible with excellent forage yield and feed value with crude protein levels ranging from 18-24%. . With high protein levels, the ability to regrow when grazed, and abundant flowers, eNhance is a great addition to food plots and wildlife habitat

Versatality - eNhance Persian Clover can be used as a cover crop for nitrogen production and weed control or as a forage in mixtures with other legumes and grasses.

Moisture Requirements - eNhance Persian Clover is best adapted to areas receiving 17+ inches of precipitation. eNhance is also tolerant of moderate periods of waterlogged soils.

Fertilizer & Establishment - eNhance is adapted to a wide range of soils from clay loams to heavy clay soils and tolerates poor drainage. The best growth is on alkaline soils, but it will grow well with a pH range of 5.0 to 8.0.

Later Maturity - eNhance Persian Clover matures approximately 21 days later than Dixie Crimson Clover, while still producing greater overall growth throughout the growing cycle. This later maturity allows for multiple cuttings or grazing.

Cold Tolerance - While most Persian clovers are not very cold tolerant, eNhance Persian Clover was bred to endure low temperatures and harsh conditions. In trials at our Southern Iowa Research Farm, eNhance performed exceptionally well, enduring temperatures as low as -15° F.

WHAT IS BERSEEM?

Berseem Clover (Trifolium Alexandrinum) - Berseem is a fall-planted clover that does best in heavier soils that may stay wet for long periods. Good for wildlife, cattle forage and as a soil builder. Berseem thrives in loams and clays with a pH of 6.5 - 8.5 and tolerates poorly drained soils.

HOW CAN IT BE USED?

Hay Plantings - In the south, this extends the range of usage on fall plantings in to Tennessee and Southern Missouri. By fall planting instead of spring you can get at least one additional forage cutting. That can translate to more than $200 per acre in extra revenue.

In the north you can plant up to a month earlier than traditional berseem clover. As berseem greatly resembles alfalfa in appearance and quality, you can utilize it to seed into winterkilled areas in your alfalfa hay fields or fill in declining stands. You can also utilize berseem clover as a nurse crop for spring plantings. Research has shown that by adding 5 lbs of berseem clover to your spring alfalfa can increase yield and quality up to 25%!

Pasture Usage - Berseem clover has been shown to not cause bloat when directly grazed. Recently Mississippi State University analyzed daily live weight gains on cattle grazing with straight berseem  plus annual ryegrass. That research will be presented shortly. Already noted was that berseem increased nitrogen in the soil and subsequent plantings of sorghum-sudan showed increased vigor and productivity due to the nitrogen created by the clover in the soil.

Emergency Forage - Berseem clover is quick to establish, non-bloating, and has a forage quality similar to alfalfa. In short-term applications, Frosty can out-yield alfalfa by 25% in a one-year rotation. Berseem clover is the perfect product for your short-term pasture needs.

Wildlife Plots - Berseem clover establishes quickly, immediately drawing deer and other wildlife to it. In research, berseem was preferred by deer over all other clover varieties. It is recommended for deer plot mixes in the southern U.S. and will provide forage thru April in most areas, improving the health of wildlife. Mississippi State forage team states that the healthier the birth the healthier the offspring, which promote a larger deer size later in life. Frosty's nutritional qualities contribute to a larger deer size!

Cover Crops - Berseem clover is excellent for cover crop usage in the South. The early season biomass production makes it the ideal legume for cotton and corn rotations. Frosty can contribute as much as 100 lbs of nitrogen per acre by early March. Not only are you improving the soil, but the nitrogen benefit offsets the seeding costs!

Final Thoughts - Berseem clover seeds have been long used in the South for forage. Berseem forage contains from 18 to 28 percent crude protein, which is very comparable with alfalfa. It is also gaining great popularity in the midwest as a cover crop. Berseem has tremendous potential for providing high quality forage and improving soil conditions as a green manure crop because of its fast growth characteristics and capacity to fix nitrogen. Although Berseem grows in a variety of soils, medium-loam soils that are slightly alkaline will produce the best crop. It is moderately resistant to saline conditions and appears superior to alfalfa and red clover in salt tolerance.

Inoculated Seed - Our Berseem clover seed has been coated with an inoculant for better establishment. Nitrogen fixation is a one of the key values found in legumes and can only occur with the proper inoculation. Although many strains or Rhizobium may be present in the soil, all are not equally beneficial. With Nitro-Coat® each seed is inoculated with the correct Rhizobium strains and coated through a proven process that ensures a very high level of successful inoculation. A key to any successful establishment and early seed development is moisture. Nitro-Coat® is naturally water absorbent and helps attract soil moisture to the seed, getting your stand established quickly. This coating process which Outsidepride utilizes, assures that only the top-performing and crop-specific rhizobia will be applied to ensure your clovers reach maximum nodulation, stand establishment, and yield potential. With Nitro-Coat® each seed is inoculated with the correct Rhizobium strains and coated through a proven process that ensures a very high level of successful inoculation. The weight of the clover seeds will contain approximately 34% coating material that contains the inoculant and water holding material for better establishment and viability of the seed. There is no difference in the seeding rates between the coated and raw seed due to the increased germination and viability of the bulk clover seeds that are coated and inoculated. This coating material is not OMRI certified.

Seeding - Berseem looks much like alfalfa and Berseem plants usually grow 20 to 30 inches tall. Berseem clover seeds will establish the best on a firm, well-prepared seedbed. Try to cover the seed 1/4 of an inch or cultipack prepared seedbeds to press the seed into the soil surface and to conserve moisture. The recommended seeding rate for Berseem clover seed is 15 - 20 pounds per acre.

Balansa clover (Trifolium michelianum) is somewhat of a newcomer to the deer food plot scene. Historically, its primary use has been as a cover crop in the agricultural community, but it has many unique qualities that can make it an excellent choice as a deer forage depending on your food plot objectives and property features.

It produces a large tap root that often runs 2- to 3-feet deep. This can help break through hard pans that may have developed in your food plots over time due to repeated tillage, which can cause soil compaction and limit forage production. This type of root system improves soil drainage and increases microbial growth, which improves overall soil quality. The root system also makes it drought tolerant and perfect for water conservation.

Balansa prefers soils with a neutral pH (greater than 6.0) and grows well in a wide variety of soil types. It is also fairly tolerant of dry conditions thanks to its large tap root that can access soil moisture. Conversely, perhaps one of the best attributes of balansa is its ability to thrive in poorly drained soils and even periodic standing water! This is important because very few quality deer forages have this ability, and balansa provides an excellent option for hunters and food plotters whose property is bottomland or the food plots are soggy during winter.

Being an annual, balansa germinates relatively quickly compared to other clovers, so it provides excellent early season attraction and hunting opportunities. As previously mentioned, Balansa is rated extremely high in terms of deer preference and digestibility. Crude protein levels are very high and have been reported in the 25 to 30 percent range.

Because of its aggressive nature, balansa clover tolerates heavy grazing pressure very well. When planted in the fall, you can expect quality forage to be available until the following May or early June – depending on where your property is located geographically – which captures the early antler growth period. In terms of forage production, you can expect to produce 2 to 3 tons per acre in dry weight during its growing season if managed properly, which is impressive.

Arrowleaf Clover  (Trifolium Vesiculosum) - Zulu arrowleaf clover is a legume can be used for grazing, hay, haylage, or greenchop, but it is most commonly grown for grazing. A good clover seed stand often produces 1 1/2 to over 2 tons of dry forage per acre, which is equal to or better than other annual clovers commonly grown in the United States. Arrowleaf clover can grow up to four feet tall if not grazed.

Arrowleaf clover is a productive and drought tolerant winter annual legume that originated in the Mediterranean region. It is widely adapted from southern Tennessee to the Florida panhandle and from east Texas to the Carolinas. It can also be grown in humid areas in Washington, Oregon, and northern California from bulk clover seeds. Forage produced by this clover is not liked by horses, but it is relished by cattle, deer, and most other grazing animals.

Arrowleaf clover does best on well-drained, but not extremely droughty, soils. It is more sensitive to soil acidity than some clovers and is best suited to soils having a pH in the range of 6.0 to 6.5 and seedling emergence is delayed if pH is below 6.0. Iron chlorosis is a growth-limiting factor if the pH is higher than 7.5. This legume is especially well-suited to sandy Coastal Plain soils, but can also be productive on well-drained clay soils. It is less tolerant of wet soils than are many other clovers.

The ideal seeding depth for arrowleaf clover seeds is 1/8 to 1/4 inch. It is preferable for the seed to be on top of the soil than for it to be planted deeper than 1/2 inch. If the clover seed is planted too deep, it may not be able to sprout. Arrowleaf clover seed are small; about 400,000 seeds/pound. The recommended seeding rate for this clover seed is 10 to 15 pounds per acre.
