Hubam Clover: Deep Roots, Nitrogen Fixation, and Late-Season Blooms
Learn why Hubam clover is becoming a standout cover crop choice. This video covers Hubam's deep taproot system, exceptional drought tolerance, nitrogen fixation potential (100-200 lbs/acre), and its ability to suppress cotton root rot. See how it outperforms other warm-season legumes in biomass production and why bees love its late-summer and early-fall blooms.

0:09 Talk to you about one of our up-and-coming superstars in the cover crop world, the legume human clothes.

0:53 Through the subsoil opening up passages that the roots of following crops can take advantage of. One of the reasons we
1:00 Really love Hugh BAM is its potential to fix nitrogen. Usually you can see about a hundred pounds of nitrogen per acre with.
1:07 This crop but there's the potential that you can even see up to 200 pounds of nitrogen per acre.
1:12 Kuban was once one of the most widely used cover crops in the cotton belt because along with its ability to fix lots of nitrogen it also has the capability to suppress cotton root rot. Cuban's recommended full rate for planting is 15 pounds per acre but in a diverse mix 2 to 4 pounds per acre will be fine.
