2017 Red and White Clover Grazing Tolerance Report
PR-734: 2017 Red and White Clover Grazing Tolerance Report
Authored by: Joey Clark Gene Olson Ray Smith Chris Teutsch
Abstract
Red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) is a high-quality, short-lived perennial legume that is used in mixed or pure stands for pasture, hay, silage, green chop, soil improvement, and wildlife habitat. White clover (Trifolium repens L.) is a low-growing, perennial pasture legume with white flowers. It differs from red clover in that the stems (stolons) grow along the surface of the soil and can form adventitious roots that may lead to the development of new plants. This report summarizes research on the grazing tolerance of clover varieties when subjected to continuous grazing pressure.
