White Clover

White Clover n - Tap rooted legume with a white flower with the abilty to fix atmospheric nitrogen

White clover is the most important pasture legume in New Zealand’s pastoral system and is present in most pastures and grazed rangeland. It is tolerant and persistent under a wide range of management systems, with a high feed value. Its ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen makes a substantial contribution to the growth of companion grasses.

It is not very productive in winter (it stops growing when the temperature is less than 8°C) and summer droughts limit its period of maximum potential production. Spring management aimed at keeping pastures short and leafy is therefore important to maintain good clover content and to capitalise on its good growth and feed value in summer.
