Red Clover is a high-yielding, nitrogen-fixing legume ideal for boosting pasture productivity and improving soil fertility. Well suited to temperate Australian conditions, it performs strongly in medium to high rainfall and irrigated systems, producing large volumes of high-quality forage with excellent palatability for grazing livestock.

Highly compatible in mixed pastures, Red Clover pairs well with perennial ryegrass, fescue and cocksfoot, driving increased pasture growth and animal performance. Its strong nitrogen-fixing ability reduces reliance on synthetic fertilisers, supporting more efficient and sustainable grazing systems.

Red Clover establishes readily under good conditions and responds well to fertile soils, particularly phosphorus, potassium and sulphur. It performs best in well-drained soils with good moisture availability and a pH above 5.5 (CaCl₂), making it well suited to both dairy and beef operations seeking high production.

Ideal for grazing, silage and hay production, Red Clover delivers high dry matter yields and excellent feed quality, supporting improved intake, liveweight gain and milk production. A proven option for farmers looking to increase pasture output and overall system performance.

Cannot be sent to WA or TAS.
