Comment:
No-till seeded red clover at 13.3 lbs/A (14.9 kg/ha) in the LTER Biodiversity study, treatments B3 (111, 203, 306, 403), B6 (107, 207, 317, 406), B15 (112, 213, 301,415). Clover was seeded slightly heavy due to late planting and soil conditions. Variety of clover was a certified organic medium red clover obtained from DKB Farms & Services LLC located out of Columbiaville MI. Product ID: 11449 stated it had 98.4% pure seed, .59% inert matter and a germination rate of 91%.
Planting depth was 1/4 inch deep and seeding population on seeding box was set at 5. Planted with the JD7420a tractor and JD1590 15ft no-till drill. We did not have a count of the number of seed that each pound of the red clover contained, therefore we can not say how many seeds were planted per acre.
