White sweet clover 2 kg

White sweet clover (Melilotus albus) — an annual multipurpose forage crop, a powerful honey plant, and an effective green manure for improving soil fertility.

Features and benefits of white sweet clover:

1. Valuable honey plant
   White sweet clover is one of the most productive nectar plants. Its long and abundant flowering strongly attracts bees, increasing overall honey productivity of the area.
2. Soil improvement and green manure
   The plant produces a large amount of organic matter (up to 100–120 t/ha), enriching the soil with calcium, sulfur, phosphorus, and potassium, significantly improving soil fertility.
3. Strong root system
   Deep roots (up to 2 m) loosen the soil, improve its structure, and provide a reclamation effect, supporting natural land restoration.
4. Hardiness and low requirements
   White sweet clover grows well even on poor soils, is light-demanding, and drought-resistant, but does not tolerate acidic soils.

Seed preparation before sowing:

Seeds have a hard coat, so scarification is recommended — mechanical disruption of the seed coat to improve germination. At home, this can be done using sandpaper or in a concrete mixer with an abrasive surface.

After scarification, germination rate can reach up to 90%.

Seeding rates:

• Row sowing: 10–12 kg/ha
• Wide-row sowing: 6–8 kg/ha
