NITROGEN FIXATION CROPS
| |
|
|
Plowdown Clovers - Mammoth Red Clover, Y.B. Sweetclover and Alsike Clover mixtures are best frost seeded into winter wheat at the rate of 10 to 12 lbs./acre. They can fix up to 100 lbs. of Nitrogen/acre if seed is inoculated. S.C. Plowdown Clover Mix provides consistent results over a wide range of conditions. (Requires clover specific inoculant)
|
 |
| |
|
| Hairy Vetch - Hairy Vetch is a winter annual, when seeded in late summer, it provides ground cover all winter long. Seeding rate of 30 lbs/acre at a depth of no more than a half inch. Long used in gardens to provide organic matter and fix up to 100 lbs/acre of Nitrogen if seed is inoculated. (Requires vetch specific inoculant) |
 |
| |
|
| AC Greenfix Grass Pea - Primarily used as a very early spring annual forage crop with the capability to fix up to 200 lbs. of Nitrogen/acre. Shows potential as a late summer seeder cover crop which can fix 80 to 100 lbs. of Nitrogen/acre. Seeding rate is 50 lbs./acre at a depth of 1 to 2 inches. depending on soil mositure, if well prepared seedbed. (requires specific pea inoculant.) |
 |
| |
|
| Iron & Clay Cowpeas - This summer annual with good heat tolerance can thrive on a wide range of soils, due to its deep tap root. Soil temperatures must be 65 degrees prior to planting. The broadcast seeding rate is 70 lbs/acre at a 1 inch seeding depth, in firm seed bed. Iron & Clay is a forage cowpea that can fix up 125 to 150 labs of Nitrogen/acre. (Requires specific cowpea inoculant) |
 |
| |
|
| Windham Winter Pea - Windham is a semi-dwarf, upright winter hardy feed pea and offers many advantages to farming systems. Windham was developed with sufficient winter hardiness that it can be sown in the fall, surive harsh winter conditions and resume growth in the spring to produce nitogen. Windham produced as a fall-sown winter legume provides producers a viable alternative to spring-sown crops and maintains the rotational advantages of legumes in agricultural production systems. |

| |
|
| Berseem Clover - Berseem clover acts as a summer annual in the northern areas and winter annual further south. Utilized as a summer cover crop planted in mid-August, folowing winter wheat it will grow about 15 inches before frost. It will trap available soil nitrogen and fix nitrogen when soil nitrogen is deleted. Acutal nitrogen fixing contibution varies with length of growing season. Frost seeding in not recommended. Seeding rate 10 to 12 lbs/acre. (Required specific Berseem clover inoculant) |
 |
| |
|
| Dixie Crimson Clover - Crimson clover is a winter annual used as a spring or fall crop. Seed in early fall (following winter wheat) it can produce 30 to 40 lbs. of nitrogen for succeeding crops, before winter kill. It prefers cooler night time temperatures (below 60 degrees), seeded at 15 lbs/acre at a quarter inch depth. (Requires true clover inoculant) Frost seeding is not recommended. |
