  • High yields of high quality forage
  • Long growing season

 

Environmental benefits

  • Can leave up to 50kg N/ha in the soil for subsequent crops
  • Attractive to bees and other insects
  • No bare soil over winter
  • Aggressive root system can improve soil structure

Cover crop

An ideal cover crop for arable rotations, helping to improve soil health, structure, fertility and organic matter, resulting in improved yields and financial savings as well as providing other benefits.

 

Cover crops can bring agronomic and environmental benefits with the active growth, deep rooting, ground cover and habitat provision providing benefits in rotations over a bare fallow and helping to reduce nutrient losses via run-off and leaching and soil erosion.

Expert advice

Red clover is high in phytoestrogen and all breeding sheep should be kept off for six weeks either side of tupping. Store lambs can be fattened very effectively on red clover silage aftermaths. Always maintain a soil pH of at least 6.0 and P & K indices of 2 for optimal clover content and health.
