Uses: Hay,
pasture, silage, and commercial seed production.
Weight per bushel: 60lbs.
Seeds per pound: 260,000
Germinating time: 7 days
Fertilizer: At seeding, 120-140lbs., P205 and 120-140lbs., K20; for
topdressing, 40-90lbs., P205 and 85-185lbs., K20 at medium soil test levels.
Lower amounts needed when used as pasture.
pH Range: 5.8-6.5
Soil Adaptation: Well drained to moderately well drained loams and
silt loam soils properly limed an fertilized.
Inoculation: Important! Cross-inoculates with alsike, crimson,
ladino, and white clovers.
Planting: 45 days before last killing frost in spring, or 30 days
before first killing frost in fall. Plant at 8-10lbs. alone; 2-6lbs. in
mixtures. Plant in 6" - 8" rows or solid seeded usually with a grass.
Broadcast or drill on small grain or closely grazed grass pasture in later
winter or early spring.
Harvesting (hay): 1/4 - 1/3 bloom stage. Early harvesting for hay
favors good seed yield by second crop. Second cutting of hay may cause
slobbering in livestock.
Harvesting (seed): Cut with combine when heads have turned brown,
flowers and stalks are deep yellow, and seeds have begun to show distinct
violet color. Will shatter badly if cut late. May use a desiccant to aid in
drying plant.
Approximate first harvest dates: Hay, June 1-June 20. Deed, August
15-September 1
Approximate Yield: Hay, 2-4 tons over season. Seed, 120-240lbs per
acre. |

Alsike
A very hardy clover that frequently takes hold where other clovers fail,
especially in low, wet soil or high gravel ground. It provides desirable hay
and is excellent for improving the soil. Has a place in most all mixes. Sow
2-4lbs. in mixes; 5-8lbs. alone. Alsike will keep the cost of your seed
mixture down.

Crimson
One of the best crops for green manure and furnishes fine pasture in the
fall, winter and spring. Improves poor land, and through its nitrogen
gathering properties, restores the fertility of those lands that have been
worn down by excessive cropping. Mid July - Mid September, 20-25lbs per
acre.

growth, resulting in greater tonnage on a given area. Provides only one
cutting a year. Sow 10 to 12lbs. per acre.

If you're looking for truly outstanding permanent food plots to attract and
hold whitetail deer and wild turkeys, this is the product. Trophy Brand with
Regal Ladino Clover, grows on a wide range of southern soils and recovers
fast in the fall from established plants that were bred specifically to
stand up to the south's punishing summers. Does not rely on heavy bloom /

life. Gives mid-late summer grazing most years and good grazing in years
with adequate rainfall, 8lbs. per acre.
