Balansa clover (Trifolium michelianum) is a cold-hardy, fast-growing legume that is valued for its high-protein content and soil-enriching properties. It is commonly used in forage systems, cover crops, and wildlife food plots. Balansa clover provides excellent nutrition for deer, turkey, and other wildlife, especially in late winter and early spring when other food sources are scarce. Inoculated with an NOP compliant seed treatment for maximum germination.

Benefits for Wildlife

High-protein forage (up to 30%) supports wildlife, particularly deer, turkey, and small game.
Attracts pollinators such as bees, improving biodiversity.
Fixes nitrogen, enriching the soil for subsequent crops or plantings.
Rapid growth ensures a continuous food source during critical seasons.

Planting Guidelines

  • Planting Times:

    • Fall (August–September): Best planted late summer to early fall for winter hardiness and early spring growth.
    • Spring (March–April): Can also be planted in spring for annual use in warmer climates.
  • Seeding Depth:

    • ¼ to ½ inch deep for optimal germination and root development.
  • Seeding Rates:

    • Drilled: 8–12 lbs per acre for a more uniform stand.
    • Broadcast: 10–15 lbs per acre, followed by light dragging or cultipacking for better seed-to-soil contact.
  • Days to Maturity:

    • 60–90 days depending on growing conditions. 
  • Drought Tolerance:

    • Moderate – Has some drought tolerance, but performs best with consistent moisture.
  • Saturated Soil Tolerance:

    • Low to Moderate – Prefers well-drained soils and does not tolerate prolonged waterlogged conditions.
  • Shade Tolerance:

    • Moderate – Performs well in full sun but can tolerate light shade, especially in early growth stages.

Fertilization Guidelines for Balansa Clover

  • Soil pH: Prefers slightly acidic to neutral soils with a pH range of 6.0–7.0.
  • Nitrogen (N): As a legume, Balansa clover fixes its own nitrogen, so minimal nitrogen fertilization is needed.
  • Phosphorus (P): 20–40 lbs P₂O₅ per acre, based on soil test results, for root and early growth development.
  • Potassium (K): 30–60 lbs K₂O per acre to support overall growth and development.

Fertilization Timing:

  • Apply phosphorus and potassium before planting or as a pre-plant application based on soil tests.

Herbicide Use for Balansa Clover

  • Weed Management:

    • Weed control is essential in the establishment phase, as clover can be sensitive to competition.
    • Balansa clover is not tolerant of most herbicides, especially during early growth.
  • Herbicide Options:

    • Pre-emergence: Use Prowl H2O (Pendimethalin) or Sonalan (Ethalfluralin) for grass and broadleaf control before clover emergence.
    • Post-emergence: Broadleaf herbicides, like 2,4-D, may be used once the clover is established, but caution is needed to avoid crop injury.

Key Considerations:

  • Carefully follow label instructions to avoid herbicide injury to young clover.
  • Avoid overusing herbicides to prevent herbicide resistance and damage to beneficial insects.

Classic holder keeps paper towels in place in a breeze.
Color: 06-bronze
This classic paper towel holder works perfectly. I had constantly unrolling paper towels in the breeze. This holder keeps everything in place now. So nice. Plus, it has a sleek, uncluttered design. I’m very pleased.

Only holds towels in place when it is full or 1/2 full
Color: 01-silver
If you are buying this for the feature of holding the paper towels in place so you can just rip one, I think you will be disappointed. Once the roll becomes smaller (and I tried changing the arm) the arm does not touch the towels. I do like the firm grip on the counter. My other dissatisfaction is the base gets water spots. Being near the sink this happens frequently. It does its job and is attractive.

Stylish
Color: 01-silver
Good sturdy stand for paper towels. Has small suction cups on bottom for stability. Good finish and good fit under the counter. Heavy base and not flimsy feeling. Brushed aluminum matched other appliances well.
