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.

shimmer
Color: Rose Gold
I recently tried the UCANBE Body Shimmer Oil, and I have to say, I'm really impressed! The oil has a beautiful, subtle shimmer that adds a touch of glow without being too overpowering. It feels luxurious on the skin, absorbing quickly and leaving it soft and smooth. I love how it gives my skin a healthy, radiant look, especially when I wear it on my legs and arms. The scent is light and refreshing, not too strong, which is a plus for me. Overall, it's perfect for a little extra sparkle on special occasions or just when I want to feel a bit extra on a regular day! Definitely recommend it if you're looking for a quality shimmer oil that doesn't feel greasy.

Light weight
Size: Gel Moisturizer
Light weight non-medicated moisturizer with no for my pre-teen boy. Helps him get in the routine now of facial care and helps keep his skin soft and glowing. Does not clog pores, non greasy great for oily acne prone skins, great for summer and winter although we're in Florida 😅.
