If N is to be applied at 50-60 lbs of N/acre or more (as fertil- izer or poultry litter) it is probably best to drop the clovers from the mix and increase the major grass by 8 lbs/acre. This will likely allow the grasses to establish faster and the legumes can be added back through a walk-in seeding or frost-seeding next winter. If using mineral fertilizer, which is faster acting than poultry litter, a fol- low up of another 50-60 lbs N/acres should follow in August or early Sep- tember if clover is not being seeded in late summer.
