the advantages of planting Durana Clover.
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.
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:
Durana is highly persistent under
grazing and is best used to enrich existing, unimproved cool or warm
season grass pasture, especially if ridding a pasture of toxic
fescue is not an option. Excellent for grazing fall through early
summer. Durana increases the attractiveness and nutritional value of
wildlife food plots, alone or in a mixture.
Excellent in FOOD PLOTS
- Especially for Deer & Turkey!
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.
