NECHES WHITE CLOVER

Neches White Clover EARLY AND PROFUSE FLOWERING, LARGE-LEAF WHITE CLOVER Neches is a variety developed by Texas A&M for its ability to survive the harsher conditions of the southern US. A newer white clover variety, it has higher yields and earlier         flowering than any other variety adapted specifically to the southeastern US. Earlier flowering allows bloom and productivity to peak before the onset of hot, dry summers. It can therefore be a better reseeder for regrowth in warm season pastures than many later-maturing varieties. It has been recorded at full-bloom in mid-April in Overton, TX (Northeast Texas). Neches is an intermediate white clover that was selected for larger leaves, as well, so both its      persistence and forage quality benefit. It does well in wetter, loamy bottomland soils.   Establishment   Neches can be drilled or broadcasted onto a prepared seed bed. It can also be over-seeded into a grass sward. Depth should not exceed 1/8 inch. A soil fertility test
