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.

Perfect for the gym!
Color: Cobalt Heather, Size: XX-Large
I bought 2 (black and blue) and wear them to the gym weekly. They wash & dry very well! They are nice enough for casual wear too. I’ll probably buy a 3rd color soon!

Good quality
Size: XX-Large, Color: Dark Green Melange
I love these quarter-zip pullovers. I bought this one as a gift, but I personally own two others myself, which should say a lot. They’re comfortable, lightweight, and extremely versatile. I wear mine for golf, casual office days, and layered when it’s cooler out—they pair well with just about anything. For the price point, they really can’t be beat. The look and feel are comparable to options that cost significantly more. Great value, great performance, and a sharp, clean style. I’ll likely keep buying more.

Nice golf pullover
Size: XX-Large, Color: Colony Blue Melange
Nice pullover 1/4 zip. Quality is pretty decent, the color and fit is really good. Leaves good flex room in the shoulders. The material isn’t to heavy and can be worn with a vest if needed. The only thing about the fit is the sleeve length. I wear in a dress shirt 35”-36” length and this hangs past my thumb.

Great 1/4 Zip for money
Size: 4X-Large, Color: Black Melange
This quarter zip pullover is a great addition to any wardrobe. The fabric is lightweight, breathable, and does a nice job wicking away moisture, making it perfect for golf or any outdoor activity. The fit is true to size with a clean, athletic look—not too tight and not too loose. The material feels smooth. The zipper is sturdy, and the overall quality is impressive for the price. It also holds up well after washing without losing shape. Nice material, wrinkle resistant and soft. Great for the course, workouts, or even casual wear. Highly recommend!
