[QUOTE="novatech, post: 902132, member: 5494"] There is very little Nitrogen in the root system as compared to the leaf. On way to recover the Nitrogen is to graze it. Some N will be in the fecal matter but most will be in the urine. If left ungrazed then it should be turned under like most other cover crops. If it is left on top just to decompose much of the N can volatilize into the air. It is similar to the difference in adding browns and greens into a compost pile. Clover will fix nitrogen when there is not ample nitrogen in the soil but when there is it no longer produces Nitrogen. Up to 30 lbs per acre is recommended to get it off to a good start if needed.
