Inoculate seed with the proper inoculant. Management Grazing - Begin controlling grazing when plants are 4 inches high and continue until June. Maintain a minimum height of 2 inches of top growth. Seed Production - Discontinue grazing in early to mid April. This should allow the clover ample time to produce a seed crop.
Seed can be direct combined.
For maximum benefits in a conservation cropping system, grazing should be excluded about April 1. Allow seed to mature for reseeding first year after planting and about every third year thereafter. Other years plow or disk into the soil when the clover nears maturity. For maximum benefits exclude grazing by domestic livestock. Roots may penetrate to a depth equal to the plants' height.
