Korean Lespedeza Is Wonder Clover Crop of Oklahoma
Korean lespedeza tops eastern Oklahoma as a versatile summer annual legume. It builds soil, resows itself, tolerates poor lime or phosphorus, and provides grazing after small grains. Seed crops yield well after heavy grazing, with 150 pounds meat per acre and high protein for milk. It boosts oat yields, fits with rye flax and barley, and enables profitable seed harvests. Planting should occur late March with 20 pounds per acre, inoculation advised, and it is not a permanent pasture but enhances Bermuda when used with proper cultivation.
