Seed Conditioning, Volume 1: Management: A practical advanced-level guide Seed conditioning turns raw harvested seed into pure seed that is free of undesirable materials, safe from pests and diseases, and that which can be planted for a good stand of healthy plants of the desired crop.

It involves machines, engineering, operations, biology, physics, plant physiology and pathology, science, and business. It must be accurate, economic and practical. To make seed conditioners more efficient, this Seed Conditioning compendium was prepared. Based on real-life experiences, trials and efforts of many conditioners were compiled and distilled into a brief, easy-to-understand form. List Price: $ 149.95 Price: $…. Click here to Read More

White Dutch Clover Seed – 2 LB Season: PerennialUSDA Zones: 3 – 10Low growing cloverUsed in lawns, as a ground cover, cover crop, for erosion controlSeeding Rate: 1/4 lb – 1/2 lb per 1,000 square feet or 8 to 10 lbs per acre White Dutch Clover designates a strain of white clover which is perennial. Used in lawns, as a ground cover, cover crop, for erosion control, and in pasture mixtures. Usually matures between 4 to 8 inches. Many homeowners include White Dutch clover in their lawn seed mixture (we recommend our newer microclover for lawns) because clover sprouts fast and grows so dependably that it’s a valuable aid in getting a new lawn started. Nodules on the roots fix nitrogen from the air. Actually, up to 1/3 the nitrogen your lawn needs can be obtained from white dutch clover! Grows vigorously even in poor clay subsoil around new home construction. If you want all the benefits of a cover crop but don’t want to till early or mow, clover is your best bet.
