Barduro is a productive red clover named for its hardiness anddurability. In the hay cutting trial at the Auburn ExtensionResearch Center in Crossville, Alabama–during their worstdrought in 25 years–Barduro was the only experimental clover tosurvive. The trial continued the following year and the droughtbecame the worse recorded in 100 years. Barduro survived thistrial as well. It is extremely drought and heat tolerant, making ita perfect choice for dry or sloped pastures. In additional trials, Barduro has proved competitive in stands offescue, orchardgrass and bermudagrass, making it an excellentchoice for overseeding pastures. Research data from triallocations in Tennessee, Georgia, Florida and Louisiana show highyield potential, making Barduro an excellent choice for hayproduction. Due to its persistent nature and durability, Bardurois also well suited for grazing. Red clover is one of the fastest establishing legumes and caneven be grown on more acid soils. The main drawback is limitedpersistence and winter-hardiness. Through breeding,improvement has been made on these characteristics. Adaptation—Climate Barduro is a medium dormancy red clover bred for themid-South, with a suitable range from Florida north throughCentral PA. Barduro has shown very impressive dry matterproduction in Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee andLouisiana. Planting Instructions If interseeding into existing grass, be sure to mow or graze the field low. This opens up the soil for seed to soil contact. Can be broadcasted or drilled, does not tolerate deep planting. Calibrate your drill or spreader for accurate rates. Seeding Rate - Interseeded 8-10 lbs/ac (unless otherwise noted) Seeding Rate - Straight Stand 25-35 lbs/ac (unless otherwise noted) Planting Depth surface to 0.25" Target Harvest Height 8-15" for grazing, at 20% bloom for haylage Target Residual Height For Regrowth 3-4"
