Patriot White Clover Seed
Trifolium repens
The Yield Up Brand Denotes Pennington’s Best. Patriot white clover proudly wears the Yield Up brand by being a superior and high quality white clover. Patriot white clover in your pasture will improve animal performance with high yields and nutritional enrichment. Compared to other leading white clovers, over time, Patriot will out yield, fix more nitrogen, and persist under grazing to provide the nutritional and economic benefits your farm needs.
Patriot is one of the new varieties released by Pennington Seed (along with Durana) that has both yield increases and provides longer lived more persistent stands. Expect this clover to live several years longer than other older types in similar climatic conditions. Patriot is best used to enrich improved high quality grass pasture - MaxQ enhanced tall fescue,
orchard grass, and prairie grass. Excellent for grazing fall through early summer
Research and ranch experiences repeatedly demonstrate the superior feed value of a white clover-grass mixture compared to grass alone. Improvements in conception rates, milk production, calf weaning weights, daily gains, and animal health can be realized. Patriot-grass mixtures may also be used for high-quality hay or silage. Patriot also captures atmospheric nitrogen - 50 to 125 lbs. per acre per year.

Planting Patriot Clover
-
Rate:
3 lbs/acre drilled or broadcast into established pastures
5 lbs/acre for a pure stand for wildlife plots - see special considerations for Livestock use.
-
Dates:
South:
September - November in the southern U.S. Frost seeded - February and March in some locations.
Upper South: September-early November...may be frost seeded in February to early March or spring planted in April to early May.
North: August - September.. may be frost seeded in February - March or spring seeded in April - May
-
Method To Over Seed:
Graze or clip pasture close prior to seeding.
-
Depth:
1/8 inch maximum; many stand failures result from seed planted too deep.
-
Fertilizer:
Liming to a pH of 6.0 and providing adequate levels of potassium and phosphorus are necessary to ensure a productive clover stand. Soil testing is highly recommended. See your local county extension office for details.
Management Of Patriot White Clover Crops
Patriot seed is pelletized with a coating of lime and selected Rhizobia strains for optimal nitrogen fixation and once established and nodulated will not require the addition of nitrogen. Clip or harvest surplus forage in understocked pastures. Under continuous grazing, keeping the grass height at 2 to 6 inches will help maintain the clover and control the grass and weeds.
Special ConsiderationsBloat can be a problem for animals on pastures with a large proportion (>35%) of white clover. Bloat-preventative supplement materials are recommended.
