Birdsfoot Trefoil Seeding Pointers
Ralph Krenzin of Iowa State College advises delaying seedbed prep for birdsfoot trefoil until fall or using fall plowing to suppress bluegrass while trefoil establishes. He recommends grazing oats with the stand, testing soil for phosphorous and lime needs, and using a packer or bucket seeder to seed 4 pounds per acre for pasture plantings.

A special trefoil inoculant is required because the native bacterial culture is typically absent in most Iowa soils. Use a heavy inoculation rate about two to three times the normal rate.
