clover seed survival in fertilizer



Does anyone have any definitive answers on clover seed in fertilizer?

This is a question from an agent in South Central Kentucky

Jimmy Henning

I have some concerned farmers and farm supply that are 
asking about clover mixed with fertilizer that they didn't 
get spread before the rain.  The fertilizer includes 46% 
phosphate and 60% potash with no nitrogen.  How much damage 
will it do to the seed.  How long before the damage occurs. 
 It will be 4-5 days before they can get on the field at 
least.
