AUSTRIAN WINTER PEA<br />
Planting Date: September 1 - November 1<br />
Seeding Rate a : 40-60 pounds per acre (broadcasted), 30-40 pounds<br />
per acre (drilled)<br />
Planting Depth: 1/2 to 1-inch<br />
Comments: Austrian winter peas provide excellent fall, winter, and early<br />
spring deer forage. They can be easily overgrazed. Winter peas do well in<br />
well-drained sites, but can tolerate soils that may be too wet for most<br />
clovers and small grains. They do well when planted in combination with<br />
small grains (wheat, oats, rye).<br />
BALL CLOVER<br />
Planting Date: September 1 - November 15<br />
Seeding Rate a : 4-5 pounds per acre (broadcasted), 3-4 pounds per<br />
acre (drilled)<br />
Planting Depth: 1/4 to 1/2-inch<br />
Comments: Ball clover is not productive over as long a period as most<br />
other clovers. Peak production only lasts for a short time during early<br />
spring (late March to April). This clover is adapted to a wide variety of<br />
soils and can grow on sites not suited for other clovers.<br />
BERSEEM CLOVER<br />
Planting Date: September 1 - November 15<br />
Seeding Rate a : 18-20 pounds per acre (broadcasted), 12-16 pounds<br />
per acre (drilled)<br />
Planting Depth: 1/4 to 1/2-inch<br />
Comments: Berseem clover is not very tolerant of freezing conditions.<br />
This clover is tolerant of alkaline soils and is more tolerant of wet soils<br />
than most annual crops. Berseem clover is well-suited for non-acid Black<br />
Belt soils and high rainfall areas near the coast. Cold hardy varieties<br />
produce hard seed and will often reseed the following fall.<br />
