Cinnamon Plus Red Clover

FSG 401RC Red Clover

  • High forage yield potential
  • Superior forage quality
  • Improved stand persistence
  • Excellent disease resistance

Developed from plant selections made near Franklin, Tennessee, FSG 401RC is an elite new generation diploid medium red clover developed for higher forage yields, improved stand persistence and greater field resistance to black patch (Rhizoctonia). FSG 401RC performs extremely well over a wide geographic area and under variable growing conditions with 50% bloom approximately one day later than Arlington, 4 days earlier than Marathon, and one day earlier than Kenland in the spring. FSG 401RC is the ideal choice for new pastures, overseeding established grass pastures and hay production.

Purple Bounty Hairy Vetch

  • Ability to fix large quantities of nitrogen
  • Excellent cover crop which produces high biomass
  • Winterhardy
  • Privides a weed suppressing mulch for no-till worn and other crops
  • Flowers two weeks earlier than most hairy vetch

Purple Bounty is a new winterhardy, early maturing hairy vetch variety developed for high nitrogen fixation (up to ½ of a subsequent crop's nitrogen), increased biomass for a thicker mulch and earlier flowering for more flexibility in planting succeeding crops. Vetch forms ground cover slowly in the fall, but root development continues through the winter with substantial growth in the spring. For maximum results, Purple Bounty should be in full bloom to allow for peak nitrogen contribution and to mow, roll or spray for maximum vetch kill. Spring oats or winter grains can also be planted with Purple Bounty to act as a protective cover for improved winter survival and increased erosion control.

 

Management Recommendations
Plant Rate 20-25 pounds per acre, broadcast or drilled

OCOEE LADINO CLOVER

  • Significant tolerance to southern root-knot nematodes
  • High forage yield potential
  • Superior persistence
  • Released by the University of Florida, selected from Osceola
  • Adapted to southeast and transition zones

Ocoee is a new, elite ladino clover with significant tolerance to southern root-knot nematodes. This tolerance translates into increased stand longevity for farmers in areas where nematodes cause reductions in yields and contribute to stand decline. Released by the University of Florida, Ocoee is the result of breeding work to develop a variety combining the positive attributes of Osceola with improved tolerance to southern root-knot nematodes. Ocoee is widely adapted and will thrive in the southeast and transition regions of the US. Increased forage quality, high yield potential and stand longevity are important characteristics of Ocoee and make it an ideal choice for pasture or hay operations. Ocoee offers many benefits when overseeded into established grass pastures including improved animal performance, increased yields and nitrogen supplied to companion grasses via nitrogen fixation.

ECO-TILL SOILBUSTER CLOVERS AND RADISHES

  • Superior, deep penetrating taproot
  • Reduces soil compaction
  • Builds organic matter
  • Improves nutrient recycling
  • Excellent weed suppression
  • Enhances soil tilth

Eco-Till Soilbuster Radish is a new Daikon type forage radish specifically developed for fall/winter cover crop applications. These radishes offer impressive benefits to the soil and the environment including the reduction of soil compaction, improved nutrient recycling, increased organic matter, enhancement of soil tilth and suppression of weeds to name a few.

A superior, deep penetrating taproot is one characteristic that separates Eco-Till Soilbuster radishes from the competition. The thin, lower portion of the taproot can grow to a depth of six feet or more while the thick upper portion of the taproot can grow to a length of 24 inches. This taproot creates vertical holes in the soil profile that breaks up soil compaction and improves soil tilth. This process, known as "bio-drilling", improves water infiltration, aeration and fertilizer efficiency for succeeding crops. Equally important is the ability of these radishes to take up nutrients from the soil profile to be stored in the tissues near the soil surface and make them readily available for use by the following crop.

Management Recommendations:

  • Planting Rate:
    • Conventional or No-Till Drill: 8-10 lbs/Acre.
    • Broadcast: 12-15 lbs/Acre (broadcast seed needs a light disking or rolling with a corrugated roller to ensure proper seed to soil contact).
  • Planting Date:
    • North of Interstate 80- Late July to August 15. Between Interstate 40 & Interstate 80- Late July to September 15.
  • Seeding Depth:
    • 1/4 - 1/2 inch (can be planted up to 1" if soil conditions are dry)
  • Germination:
    • 3-7 days (with proper soil temperatures and moisture.
  • Fertility:
    • Apply as directed by soil test. Nitrogen deficiency will limit overall growth, the ability to compete with woods and root penetration through compacted soils.
  • Soil pH:
    • 6.5 - 7.0 (for optimum performance)
