About This Book

A practical manual that guides farmers through establishing and managing crimson clover as a forage, cover crop, and green manure. It outlines the plant's appearance, history, regional adaptations, and varietal differences, then gives step-by-step advice on soils, seedbed preparation, seeding dates and rates, seed choice (hulled versus unhulled), inoculation, liming, and fertilization. The text explains methods for sowing with nurse crops or grain mixtures, harvesting for hay or pasture, turning under as green manure, and routine stand care, and it discusses common problems such as drought damage and stem-rot with prevention and management recommendations.
