LinksClover has a symbiotic relationship with Rhizobium bacteria. Clovers and other legumes provide homegrown, slow-release nitrogen, which is more environmentally friendly than commercial nitrogen. Clover furnishes pollen and nectar for honeybees and can increase populations of beneficial predatory insects. Planting clover seed also provides food for wildlife, including deer, rabbits, and game birds. University Forage Program HomepagesOregon State University -- Forage Information System |
