Product Information

Hairy Indigo (Indigofera hirsuta) is an erect-growing, reseeding, summer annual legume that may grow 4 to 7 ft. tall if not grazed. Hairy Indigo germinates in late Spring and continues throughout the Summer.  It is generally considered a late emerging plant (late May through June.)  The plant is somewhat shrubby, and stems become very woody as the plant matures. Stems and leaves are covered with short, bristle-like hairs. It is moderately resistant to root-knot nematode. Hairy Indigo adapts to sandy soils that have good drainage, and grows on land that may be too dry for other legumes. It does not grow well on soils that flood for an extended period of time. Early-and-late-flowering types have been developed, but all are now marketed as common hairy indigo.

Hairy indigo is mainly used for grazing, and growth is sometimes accumulated to furnish high-quality grazing in the fall for weaned calves or dry cows. Hairy indigo leaves are also nutritious for goats. Studies at the University of Florida showed that hairy indigo can produce up to 12 tons of dry matter per acre, which would contain about 20% crude protein and 50 to 60% digestibility. The leaves also contain high levels of mineral nutrients.

Cattle may reject hairy indigo when they are first placed in a pasture, but after one or more days, they begin grazing. After adapting to Hairy Indigo, cows and calves readily consume it. Cattle may develop sores on their feet and legs when grazing Hairy Indigo in the rainy season due to irritation of the wet skin of the cattle by the bristle-like hairs on the stems of the plants.~~~

Plant between April and July at a rate of 5 to 8 lbs. per acre.

Establishment and management procedures are similar to those for other warm-season annual legumes. Hairy Indigo is easy to establish and requires very little management afterwards. Hairy Indigo requires soil pH of 5 to 6; the plant will not grow well or persist on acidic soils. Liming may be required to achieve the optimum pH. Depending on soil test results, it may be better to apply dolomite (which also supplies magnesium) than lime. How much lime will be needed depends on the soil type and original or native pH of the soil. Contact your County Extension agent for help on how you can test your soil and determine your liming needs. For good establishment, 15 lbs. of seed per acre is recommended. Disking, rolling or packing the soil after broadcasting the seed, will give better establishment. Establishment and production can be enhanced with application of 30 and 60 lbs. per acre of P2O2 and K2O, respectively. Inorganic nitrogen fertilizer is not required since Hairy Indigo is a legume and will produce its own nitrogen from the air. Due to its hardseededness, some seed may lie dormant in the soil for many years after being planted, and then germinate when the soil is disturbed.

To ensure that the plant reestablishes each year from seed, it is advisable to withdraw animals from the pasture or reduce grazing intensity two weeks before the plants begin to flower or in late Summer or early fall. This practice would allow some of the plants to go to seed. Grazing animals will help distribute the seeds in the pastures. The self-seeding nature of the plants is good from the forage standpoint, but it is a negative characteristic in terms of the weed potential of the plant. Consequently, vegetable and other row crop farmers often consider Hairy Indigo a weed. However, used as a cover crop or green manure crop, Hairy Indigo can effectively suppress nematodes that might otherwise seriously damage succeeding crops. Besides grazing, hairy indigo has also been used for hay and silage.

The best phone holders for any car and any phone
Color: Dark Black, Size: 1 Pack
One of the best phone holders I’ve ever used! I’ve used this holder for about a year now and it is perfect for my phone; it’s durable and secure on any types of bumps, won’t mess up the angle whatsoever. It has a small hole on the bottom for charging phones. The installation is really easy; you just hook it on your vent which is great compared to other suction mounts. If this one ever breaks, I am sure to purchase the same one; super worth for money.

Works well on 2003 Corvette.
Color: Carbon Fiber, Size: 2 Pack
I purchased these for usage in my 2003 Corvette convertible. As much as I enjoy the vehicle, they are extremely insufficient for storage. No "usable" built-in cup holder, no pockets and no flat area that can hold a cell phone. The console and glove box are not ideal in this day and age since the phones are used constantly. Enter these excellent little holders. They mount perfectly on the central vent in the dash. If you slide the bases as far as possible to each side and then tighten them down, the base will overlap the non-moving portion of the vent and keep the unit quite stable. I would suspect this is applicable for any vehicle that has the traditional flat vent fins. The holder has a hook that when fished into the vent, clasps over the back of one of the fins. By hooking the fin, once tightened down (careful not to over due this as the vents are just plastic) the installation is as stable as you can ask for vs any of those goofy clamp types that slide off quite easily, especially as they age and sun softens the pads. Benefit from my mistakes on those bad purchases and stay away from clamp mounts. If you have flat fin vents and are looking for a reliable means to mount a phone, this may be just right for you. Best of luck.

The Perfect Phone Mount.

Well built and removes cleanly.
Color: Dark Black, Size: 1 Pack
Seems to be very solid and it was a little bit tricky to get it located on the vent blade properly, though that might just be due to the vents shape in my Highlander. I really like that it can be easily moved from one vehicle to another if needed without leaving adhesive residue like my last mount did. The only concern I have is whether the vent blade will support the weight long term. Time will tell I guess. EDIT: This fits all of the vents on my 2011 Highlander great. On my 2022 Highlander it will only attach to the center vents and then just barely hooks on after angling the vent blades enough for the hooks to grab. Even then the mount only makes contact at the very top and bottom of the vent opening. It works, but I wouldn't recommend it as ideal.
