DURANA WHITE CLOVER
Trifolium repens
|
ADAPTATION: Cool season perennial legume From eastern Texas and Oklahoma across the south to the Atlantic coast and north along a line from Macon, GA to Dallas, TX. In the Pacific Northwest, and in river valleys and irrigated pastures of the intermountain region. Durana persists well under grazing.
USES: Rackmaster® Durana White Clover is the newest white clover on the market for whitetail deer management. Durana was developed by Dr. Joe Bouton, while at the University of Georgia, to persist under grazing pressure, tolerate acidic soils, compete aggressively with weeds and grasses and to tolerate low management situations. Durana, unlike ladino clover, is an intermediate white clover. Intermediate clovers have a medium leaf size and a leaf density that is very thick, from the ground to the top of the plant. This leaf density will help prevent weed invasion. Durana possesses a high stolon density; it has 97 stolons per square foot, unlike conventional ladino clovers which only have 52 per square foot. It is pre-inoculated and lime coated for easy seeding and optimal nitrogen fixation. Durana will outlast conventional ladino clovers in food plots and persist for years on good moisture holding soils. With protein levels of over 25% and digestibility of over 75%, Durana will make an excellent pure stand or combination planting for any food plot to feed, attract and hold game on your property. Durana is persistent, productive and a highly preferred white clover

DURANA Trifolium repens
Yield Up Brand Denotes Pennington’s Best.
Durana white clover qualifies to be a Yield Up brand because of its superior persistence under grazing. Durana is a durable, all purpose white clover you can count on to persist under grazing, compete in tall fescue and bermudagrass sod, maintain a long stand life, provide a high quality diet to grazing animals, and fix nitrogen to share with companion grasses.
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. Durana-grass mixtures may also be used for high-quality hay or silage. Durana also captures atmospheric nitrogen - 50 to 125 lbs. per acre per year.
NUTRITION:
18 to 28% crude protein and total digestible nutrients (TDN) ranging from 65 to 85%. Highest values will be obtained with a vegetative to 10% bloom harvest. Maturity of the crop at harvest will determine individual results.
PLANTING:
BENEFITS & MANAGEMENT:
Durana 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.
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.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Bloat can be a problem for animals on pastures with a large proportion (>35%) of white clover. Bloat-preventative supplement materials are recommended.
DURANA FOOD PLOTS
