How to fertilize clover

one. Basic Information:

Clover is divided into two types according to its color, generally white flowers and red flowers. Clover likes warm and well-drained environment, but it cannot withstand drought, and high temperature environment is not conducive to its growth. Clover contains a particularly high amount of minerals and proteins, and is a very high-quality forage grass. It can adapt to growth in both acidic and alkaline soils. It has great prospects for promotion in our country. If managed properly, it can continue to grow for more than seven years. Clover belongs to the legume family and has a strong nitrogen-fixing ability. When choosing fertilizer, you can generally choose a small amount of nitrogen fertilizer. In addition, fertilizers such as phosphorus fertilizer, potassium fertilizer and urea can also help increase the grass production of clover.

two. Fertilization method:

Clover seeds are very small and the seedlings have weak growth ability. It usually takes a long time from sowing to germination. In order to ensure the normal development of seedlings, careful care is required. Regardless of whether you are sowing in spring or autumn, you must level the ground in advance, and then deep plow the soil every 10-15 days to break up the soil and wait for sowing. Before sowing, fertilizer should be applied. Generally, organic fertilizer is mixed with superphosphate and stirred evenly before being used as base fertilizer. A small amount of nitrogen fertilizer can be applied in the early stage of sowing to promote the growth of seedlings. If the plants are short and small and the leaves are yellowing when they emerge, the amount of nitrogen fertilizer should be increased appropriately. Generally, urea, potassium fertilizer, and calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer should be applied 15 days after clover seedlings emerge, which will help increase grass yield.

three. Fertilization precautions:

Clover is generally sown in spring and autumn, and the temperature is best between 19-24℃. Clover seeds must be soaked before sowing. It is generally recommended to add 1.5 kg of water for every 1 kg of seeds, and add 1 g of ammonium molybdate to soak the seeds for 12 hours, then add 5-10 kg of calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer and 5-10 kg of fine soil or yellow sand and mix well before sowing.
