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)
