California Medic Mix
California Medic Mix combines four annual medic varieties with sub clover in a diversified annual legume blend. The mix is designed to provide multiple growth habits, seasonal forage potential and biological nitrogen-fixing capability when successfully established, inoculated and nodulated.
California Medic Mix Components
Four medic varieties and one sub clover variety provide a diversified annual legume base for California pasture, range and cover-crop applications.
Variety Availability: Varieties may change based on seed availability. When substitutions are necessary, comparable medic or clover varieties may be used to maintain the intended function of the mix.
Annual Legume Diversity for California Systems
California Medic Mix combines several annual legumes rather than relying on a single variety, providing multiple growth habits and seasonal responses within the same planting.
Biological Nitrogen Fixation
Medics and sub clover are legumes capable of fixing atmospheric nitrogen when successfully established, properly inoculated and actively nodulated.
Multiple Annual Legume Types
Barrel medic, burr medic, snail medic and sub clover provide different plant types and growth habits within one annual legume planting.
Forage Contribution
When incorporated into suitable pasture or range systems, annual legumes can add broadleaf forage and increase botanical diversity in the stand.
Seasonal Ground Cover
Established annual legumes can contribute living cover during their active growing period and help reduce the amount of exposed soil.
Potential for Regeneration
Under suitable management, annual medics and sub clover may contribute seed for future regeneration when plants are allowed to mature and set seed.
California-Focused Blend
The blend is built around annual medic and sub clover species commonly used in Mediterranean-type annual forage and soil-cover systems.
Establishment Note: Performance depends on planting timing, seedbed preparation, soil conditions, rainfall or irrigation, inoculation, grazing pressure and successful stand establishment. Allow plants adequate time to establish before heavy grazing or other disturbance.
Four Medics Plus Sub Clover in One Annual Legume Mix
California Medic Mix combines multiple annual medic types with sub clover to create a broader legume base than a single-variety planting. The blend can be used where annual legume diversity, seasonal forage contribution and biological nitrogen fixation are desired.
OMRI Coating Option: An OMRI-Listed coating option is available. Availability should be confirmed when ordering. An OMRI-Listed coating does not by itself make conventionally produced seed certified organic.
