Persian clover (annual) ACCADIA

Trifolium resupinatum L.
A late, extremely high-yielding, fast-growing Persian clover for feeding, hay, and green manure

  • Fast-growing, leafy, delicate-stemmed clovers that can grow to the height of red clovers
  • Extremely high yield
  • The yield potential of the first harvest – high
  • Flowering – late
  • Can be grown for grazing, green fodder or silage production, green fertilizer
  • Since the crop can be cut several times, these clovers are best grown in mixtures with Westerwolds (annual) ryegrass
  • Produces an exceptional yield of protein fodder
  • The highest energy value and digestibility is fixed at the beginning of flowering
  • Can produce 3.0-4.0 t/ha of dry matter when grown as a catch crop
  • Strong root system and easily decomposable above-ground plant part contribute to soil protection and erosion control, making it an excellent choice for green manure
  • Can also grow in dry calcareous soils
  • Sowing can be done when the danger of frost has passed
  • Sufficient heat and humidity are needed during the development stage to obtain a high yield
  • First yield of dry matter – 6 points (out of 9)
  • Beginning of flowering – 8 points (out of 9)
  • Plant height in the early growth stage – 6 points (out of 9)
  • Stem length when fully developed – 7 points (out of 9)
  • Development after sowing – 5 points (out of 9)
  • Tendency to lodging – 3 points (out of 9)
  • Raw protein content – 6 points (out of 9)
*Results of studies in Germany (rating scale: 1 – very early, low; 5 – medium; 9 – very late, high)

The varietal parameters may differ from those indicated here when the testing circumstances differ from quondam


Recommended sowing rate: 12-15 kg/ha

Recommended sowing rate when growing for green manure: 15-20 kg/ha
