Crimson clover is a cool season annual legume used as both forage and as a green manure crop. In no-till, strip-till and organic applications, it is used for soil cover and nitrogen fixing; having the ability to provide from 70-130 lbs/ac of nitrogen for the following crop. Establish crimson clover six weeks before frost and expect slow fall growth with rapid spring growth.
Key Benefits
