Trifolium pratense


This legume is often used in grass mixtures for a predominantly cutting regime. Red clover is one of the fastest establishing legumes and can even be grown on more acid soils. The main draw back is limited persistence and winter-hardiness. Through breeding, improvement has been made on these characteristics.

 

Start

Start red clover is a non-typical variety. It has been bred for both persistence and quality. Unlike other varieties, it has very fine stems and will withstand high traffic. This makes Start a perfect variety in grazing mixtures. In hay situations, Start red clover impresses with high yields and reduced drying time.

Freedom! red clover is the latest release from the University of Kentucky. It is selected for increased dry matter production and drying and has finer stems and less pubescence (hairs) on the stem which causes the plant to dry faster.
