Red clover, Yellow Blossom Clover, ladino clover

• Great cover crop • Nitrogen-rich green manure • Compaction fighter

It is recommended to use red clovers and white clovers mixed together for grazing. Red clovers are more drought tolerant and productive than white clovers, but white clovers have a higher quality. Red clovers are more tolerant of wet soils and have a lower pH than alfalfa. In trials at Penn State, the average yield of red clovers was a little higher than the average yield of the leafhopper-resistant alfalfas one year after seeding.

White clovers are the backbone legume of grazing systems. They are the only legume that does not get tougher or lignify in hot weather. They can be mixed with other species in wet hay systems. White clover spreads by rhizomes, which are stems that run on the soil surface. The quality of white clover is very high. It fixes its own nitrogen and will help supply nitrogen to other plants. White clover thrives under warm moist conditions, thus it does not tolerate drought.
