Blackhawk Arrowleaf Clover gets its name from its dark black seed coat. This dark seed coat proves increased tolerance to fungi, wilt and disease when compared to light colored varieties such as Yuchi or Apache. It also has an earlier maturity date then Apache and Yuchi when planted on the same date. Blackhawk Arrowleaf clover has long shown strong potential when planted or over-seeded into warm-season pastures in the fall or spring. It has the advantage of going dormant about a week earlier than Apache, meaning it is less likely to compete with warm-season forages such as Coastal or Tifton Bermuda. Application or Use: Cattle Forage, Livestock Grazing, Food Plot, Cover Crop, Erosion Control When to Plant: Recommended planting time is fall and spring when night time temperatures are consistently below 65 degrees. Blackhawk Arrowleaf Clover is a much improved re-seeding Arrowleaf Clover. Designed and bred to tolerate disease and soil pathogens, it promises a much higher forage production. Blackhawk was developed and released by the Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Extension Center in 2012.
