Planting: Method: Choose a site that receives a minimum of 6 - 8 hours of full sun. Prepare a smooth, firm seedbed by plowing and dragging the soil. Fertilizer and lime should be applied during this process to mix and incorporate it into the soil. Broadcast seed at the recommended rate evenly across the soil surface with a seeder designed for sowing small seed. Use a light drag, culti-packer or similar roller device following seed application to cover the seed. The use of a culti-packer or roller after seeding ensures good seed/soil contact which improves stand emergence. Seed can also be drilled into a firm seedbed with a no-till planter equipped with a small seed hopper attachment. (Caution should be taken to plant seed at the recommended seeding depth.) Seeding Date: South - Sept. 15 thru Nov. 1; Upper South - Sept. 1 thru Oct. 15; North - Aug. 15 thru Oct. 1 Seeding Rate: 10 lbs. /acre (4 ozs. /1000 sq.ft.) for a pure stand; 3-5 lbs. /acre (1-2 oz./1000 sq.ft.) if seeded in mixes. Depth: 1/8” – 1/4” maximum (stand failures will result from seed planted too deep). Fertilizer: Soil testing is highly recommended. Liming to a pH of 6.0-6.5 and providing adequate levels of potassium and phosphorus are necessary to ensure a productive clover stand. See your local county extension office for soil sampling assistance. In the absence of a soil test, apply 300 lbs./acre 0-20-20 (7 lbs./1000 sq. ft.) or an equivalent fertilizer and 1 ton/acre ag lime (50 lbs./1000 sq. ft.). Note: Only fertilizers containing zero or small percentages of nitrogen (5% or less) should be used on pure stands of Clover Trio. Apply fertilizer just prior to seeding. If practical, apply lime a minimum of 3 months before planting. Inoculant: RACKMASTER Clover Trio seed come pre-inoculated with selected Rhizobia strains of bacteria for optimal root nodulation and nitrogen fixation. Special Note: Aggressive winter annual forages such as ryegrass should be controlled/suppressed with appropriate products to allow the clover to establish.
