Description
The root system of the clover is pivotal, it develops faster than the aerial part. Stems grow up to 60 cm, dense greenery. The leaves are mostly trifoliate. Flowers in different species are red, white, less often - multi-colored, can bloom in the 1st year. The flowers are small or even small, collected in the majority in the form of heads, often covered, especially at the beginning, by the upper or two upper leaves. Arrangement of flowers by umbrellas, brush, or rarely singly. The flower is built like a moth, nine of ten stamens grow together with filaments, and one remains free.
The fruit is a small bean containing one or two seeds, rarely more. This bean is opened late, sometimes it remains unopened at all. Small seeds are almost spherical or somewhat elongated.
A characteristic feature of clover is that the only pollinating insects that can pollinate it are bumblebees and bees. This feature plays a large role in clover fitness.
Clover is a honey plant. Clover honey is among the best. It is transparent, with a delicate aroma and delicate taste; upon crystallization, it forms a solid white mass.
In one place, perennial varieties can grow from 2-3 to 10-15 years. Clover roots carry a special kind of swelling, or nodules, on their branches, as is found in many other legumes, inside which special bacteria live (Rhizobium leguminosorum or Bacillus radicicola), capable of retaining nitrogen contained in the air and transferring it to the plant in a convenient to assimilate the form. This is how nitrogen accumulates in the soil where clover or other legumes grew.
Clover enriches the soil with nitrogen, clover roots protect the earth from wind and water erosion, and improve its structure.
They get hay from clover, use it as a honey plant, and strengthen the slopes.
Provides a good source of nitrogen replenishment. The cost recovery of cultivating it is higher than that of applying manure. Clover fixes nitrogen more than vetch, fodder beans, peas.
Clover is a perennial green manure. It is used in areas where planting of vegetables is not planned for 2 years. Clover as a siderat is planted in the garden between trees or in shaded areas.
Clover is a moisture-loving crop, but does not tolerate stagnant water. Sour and salty areas are not suitable for him. The best option is slightly acidic and loamy soils.
Clover is a good precursor for garden plants and crops that are demanding on the nitrogen content in the soil - eggplants, cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbage, strawberries.
Clover improves the living conditions of beneficial microorganisms that produce humus in the soil. Red clover is shade-tolerant, therefore it is used as a green manure crop in the garden.This property is also used when sowing other green manure under cover, such as vetch-oat mixture, winter rye, phacelia, white mustard.
Red clover is appreciated as a siderat for its ability to grow large amounts of greenery. While one cut per season is obtained from a white clover, the red clover produces two to four cuttings. White clover like green manure is sown to cover the ground in lawns, while rapid reproduction is noted. This light-loving pasture plant is resistant to trampling.
When sowing meadow clover as a siderat in spring and embedding in the first year of life, 2 times less nitrogen enters the soil than when seeding in the second year. Clover plant residues have a long-lasting effect. In the first year, crops use only 30% of nitrogen, in the second - 35%, and in the next two years - 25 and 10%.
It is advisable to sow red meadow clover in early spring, as it prefers lower temperatures in the first days of life. The green manure is sown in a scattering in moist soil to a depth of 1-2 cm. To increase the contact of seeds with the soil, it is rolled up before and after sowing. Seeds germinate in 4-5 days.
White clover is propagated by seeds and rooted shoots. Due to its fast rooting property, it is used to anchor slopes. Already in the first year, it is able to bloom and give seeds. In clean crops, the clover is white as a siderat, not tall, the bulk of the greenery is in the surface layer. In order to prevent lodging, it is sown in a mixture with meadow timothy, phacelia, and spring cereals. The seeding rate of clover is on average 0.1-0.2 kg / weaving. For uniform and high-quality sowing, seeds are mixed in a 1: 1 ratio with river sand.
It is recommended to embed the green mass in the soil before flowering, during the period of bud formation, when young plants are most rich in nitrogen. Microorganisms are good at processing green plant residues, accumulating mineral forms of nitrogen in the soil.
In the year of sowing, the first mowing occurs in July-August. To get a noticeable return from the siderat clover, it is grown for at least 4 months. If sowing occurs in August, it makes no sense to embed green manure in the soil in the fall. It is better to leave green manure until spring as a winter plant. Frosts of meadow clover are not terrible, in spring the bushes will grow back and turn green. In May-June, the thick and juicy cover is cut to the root and two weeks later, seedlings of vegetable crops are planted in this area.

Clover is one of the best honey plants: its flowers emit a lot of nectar from May to late autumn. Bees collect up to 200 kg of honey from 1 hectare.
The nectar and pollen in the small flowers of white clover are shallow and accessible to bees. However, in other species of clover, pollen and nectar are stored at the bottom of the long narrow tube of the corolla and can only be reached by insects with a long proboscis. Therefore, the best clover pollinators are bumblebees. The yield of seeds depends on their number during the flowering period of clover. Clover also benefits humans as a cure for many ailments: clover flowers have anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, expectorant, hemostatic, astringent, diaphoretic effects.

The green mass of clover is used as a green fertilizer - green manure - to increase soil fertility. The fact is that special symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria live inside the root tubers of clover, capable of retaining atmospheric nitrogen contained in the soil and transferring it to the plant in a form convenient for assimilation. When clover is plowed, the soil is enriched with nitrogen and humus.
Atmospheric nitrogen makes the green color of cereal grasses more saturated, increases the growth and number of shoots, and improves the decorative effect of the lawn. Due to its powerful root system (up to 45 cm) and the listed properties, creeping clover as part of grass mixtures is recommended for strengthening slopes, slopes and tinning wastelands.

Benefits for the body
What are the features of clover in the treatment of purely "female" and "male" diseases?
For men
It is believed that red clover tinctures can help restore and strengthen male potency.
One of the most "proven" recipes is considered to be a decoction with red wine. To prepare it, you need to take two tablespoons of meadow clover seeds, which are poured over with two glasses of red wine. The mixture is simmered over low heat in a water bath for half an hour, cooled, and then taken three times a day, a tablespoon before meals.
Alcohol tincture is no less popular, which must be drunk daily at least three times a day.
But experienced wives believe that decoctions and clover tea help no less than alcoholic options.
For women
Meadow clover is an indispensable aid in gynecology. It contains phytoestrogens - analogs of female sex hormones. With their help, you can alleviate the condition with menopause, as well as reduce pain during menstruation. In addition, infusions help reduce and even stop bleeding, restore microflora, and cure inflammation of the appendages.
It is strictly forbidden to take clover-based drugs during pregnancy and lactation.
In case of inflammation, it is recommended to use the broth as a douching, and in case of painful and heavy periods, use it internally.
If you take oral contraceptives, estrogens, anticoagulants, progesterone drugs, or the most common aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid), then clover will only create an additional hormonal load.
Conditions for a blooming carpet
Since the wild-growing shamrock is very tenacious, special conditions are not required for its cultural brothers.
The soil is preferable with neutral or weak acidity. Reacts well to fertilizers. Enriches the land after cereals. It spreads better on loamy and sandy loam soil.
The sun is always a priority. In shaded areas, it is more affected by the fungus and sick.
The plant really needs moisture. It is the combination of sun and humidity that promotes flowering, distribution, recovery. However, the excess attracts slugs and snails. At the roots, the process of decay begins.
Weeds must be removed at the beginning of the lawn settling. In the second year, the shamrock will get rid of on its own, leaving them no chance. If you let the clover go out of control, it will itself become a rapidly spreading weed.
Reproduction. Seeds must be harvested from biennial plants. Choose large dry heads. Dry them in a shaded place for a week, then you can put them away for storage. Sow to a depth of 3 cm.
Testimonials
Clover is a well-known and widespread plant in our country, and due to its unpretentiousness, it is actively used in landscaping the local area.
Very easy to maintain, the shamrock is the best option for those who cannot pay much attention to the lawn.
A herbaceous perennial belonging to the extensive Legume family, it grows very quickly over the entire area and forms a dense, solid green "carpet".
Damages or so-called bald spots on the lawn quickly overgrow, and the plant retains its attractive flowering appearance from the last decade of spring until the onset of a noticeable autumn cold snap.
With proper care, a clover lawn will not require renovation for seven to eight years.
Domestic landscape designers in recent years increasingly prefer a specially bred variety of decorative clover - "Barbaniana". However, it is now problematic to acquire the seeds of such a hybrid plant, which forms numerous pink and white flowers, so a traditional creeping shamrock may well be used for sowing.
Lawn care
A spring-sown shamrock glade needs regular watering in the absence of rainfall. Bushes develop intensively, but do not bloom in the first year. During this period, the main care of the clover lawn is weeding or spot treatment with herbicides. In the second year, the culture is able to demonstrate its best qualities, vegetation fills the entire allocated area, and flowering begins.The first haircut is performed with a green covering height of 10 cm, if the clearing has a functional purpose. A decorative lawn made of dwarf clover varieties does not need to be mowed.

Procurement of raw materials
In the wild, clover grows in wet meadows, clearings, along the banks of rivers and lakes. Cultivation is distinguished by good survival rate in well-groomed summer cottages, which is why it is quite simple to grow inflorescences at home.
The main raw material for medicinal use is often the upper flowers of the plant, but in some cases it is possible to use the stems and the root. The maximum accumulation of nutrients mainly comes in June-August, it is then that the clover begins to bloom.
Dry clover retains all its beneficial properties
It is necessary to cut the buds whole, without destroying the upper petals.... It is best to leave the inflorescences to dry directly at the collection point under a canopy or using special drying equipment at a temperature of 40-60 ° C. In this case, the useful medicinal value is practically not lost.
After drying, the resulting product should be packed in tightly closed cardboard boxes or placed in glass jars. It is necessary to store dried flowers in a closed container for no more than 2 years, in the case of grass or roots - no more than a year.
Fertilizers
The shamrock is a very nutritious plant and loves the same treatment. Before sowing it, you need to think about fertilizers:
- organic fertilizers (manure) are applied only in the fall for digging;
- a dressing with a phosphorus-potassium composition is added under the clover lawn; further, not more often than once every two months;
- on podzolic soils, it is required to spray the green mass at the beginning of flowering with boron fertilizers;
- all fertilizing agents with nitrogen supplements should be excluded; clover accumulates nitrogen by itself, it cannot stand an overdose.
Absolutely unnecessary: calcium nitrate, ammonium nitrate; sodium nitrate; ammonium chloride.
