Crimson Clover Usefulness as Fertilizer and Pasture
The Agriculture Department touts Crimson Clover in Farmers Bulletin 579 as a spring pasturage and soil improver. It suits Southern and Central Atlantic states best, tolerates mild winters, and helps fertilize soil by plowing under the green crop to add nitrogen and humus, boosting subsequent corn yields by about 10 to 15 bushels per acre on average.
