A time-lapse video showing the growth of Vernal alfalfa from 6 to 130 days.

An in-depth, two-part series exploring various legume species cultivated in the Southeast. Part 1 captures growth at 129 days post-planting, while Part 2 documents the trial's conclusion at 167 days post-planting.

Join us for a visit at Clemson’s Edisto Research Campus in Blackville, SC. We'll look at the tail end of a “modified” cover crop study followed by a root review of plants we dug up.

In this video, we explore the growth patterns of Lightning berseem clover over a 175-day period. Lightning berseem clover is a multipurpose plant useful for forage, cover crop and attracting wildlife.

A time-lapse video showing the growth of Patagonia Inta Hairy Vetch from 6 to 130 days.

When it comes to obtaining fast growth and substantial biomass from cool season legumes, hairy vetch stands out. This was evident in our recent trial of Patagonia Inta hairy vetch. This video shows our observations over a 175-day growth period.

A time-lapse video showing the growth of Dixie crimson clover from 6 to 130 days.

An in-depth exploration of multiple legume species, 129 days after planting. Legume species planted include: hairy vetch, crimson clover, balansa clover, medium red clover, berseem clover, white clover & vernal alfalfa.

In this video, we explore two varieties of Balansa clover—Viper and Bolta—both planted on December 9, 2023, in the southeastern United States.

In this video, we explore Dixie crimson clover, one of the most commonly used cool season annual clovers. We planted it on December 9, 2023, as part of a small trial of legume species in the Southeast and observed its growth over 175 days.
