Balansa Clover - Deer Food Plot Considerations

[@billhickman4826]

Might have to try some of that this fall.

Received my first bag of FixNation balansa seed yesterday and will try it out in one of my food plots this fall. I'm in Jackson, Mississippi so I expect to see results very similar to your field trials. For those who don't realize it, Dr. Bronson Strickland is one of America's top experts in plantings for wildlife management. MSU runs one of the best agricultural field trial programs anywhere, with results especially relevant to the Deep South. If you don't watch his videos....you SHOULD!

Enjoying the info

Thanks, I’m considering adding some clover to my yard this coming fall.

Sounds good

[@johnhardin5168]

I plant ladino every year. Our Mississippi drought wipes it out. I pour the the lime to it annually and I keep my PH consistently above 6.

[@msudeerlabtv5058]

Are you sure the Ladino clover is dying? Or just going dormant in the summer heat and drougt?

[@johnr6179]

Are these clovers considered to be invasive? How hard will they be to get rid of if/when you decide to convert the plot to something else?

[@msudeerlabtv5058]

Not invasive. They're very good re-seeders, but if you want to do something else, you can treat with glyphosate or a selective herbicide.

What advice would you give for someone starting a new plot?

Check out our Food Plot Principles series in the playlist. It covers all of the basics for food plots.

How will this do in 4.7 clay

[@carrollsanders9376]

The way I do annual clovers is in a rotation with Cowpeas.
