Sweet Clover For Green Manure Urged By Illinois Expert
University of Illinois agronomist C. M. Lindley advises sweet clover as a green manure only in its first year or when a seed crop or pasture justifies a second-year stand. He notes clover can yield about 150 pounds of nitrogen per acre, enough to support a 100 bushel corn crop, and warns against late second-year plowing as nitrogen is largely from early spring growth and not atmospheric fixation.
