Red clover is a protein-rich clover species that can be added to existing grassland. Sowing red clover creates a rich sward that helps fix nitrogen from the air. This naturally stimulates grass growth and produces highly palatable, protein-rich forage. Red clover is more drought-tolerant than white clover and is particularly suitable for cutting thanks to its rapid regrowth and high biomass production during summer.
- Highly suitable for intensive cutting
- Palatable and protein-rich
- Excellent nitrogen-fixing ability
- Promotes biodiversity
Red clover is a palatable, nitrogen-fixing clover species that can be added to new or existing grassland. Adding red clover seed to grass creates a rich sward that helps fix nitrogen from the air. This naturally stimulates grass growth and produces highly palatable, protein-rich forage that is ideal for cows.
Red clover can grow in somewhat harsher conditions and tends to be more drought-tolerant than white clover. Its rapid regrowth and high biomass production also make it particularly suitable for frequent cutting. Red clover establishes well and contributes to greater biodiversity. It attracts bees, bumblebees and other pollinating insects, supporting insect life.
Benefits at a glance
- High biomass production during summer
- Does not tiller
- Enriches the soil with nitrogen
- Attracts bees, bumblebees and other pollinating insects
Would you like to add clover to fields that are mainly grazed? Then we recommend White Clover, which is more palatable when grazed and produces less biomass than red clover. Would you prefer red clover with a particularly long lifespan? Then AberClaret is the solution! AberClaret is very protein-rich, can be both cut and grazed, and has a lifespan of up to five years!
