Rapier Hi-Pro

Rapier with Red Clover

Product number: 421FC0051CM

 

A popular version of the Rapier mix that includes our Red Clover Blend for 2 years of outstanding yields

  • Enhances yield, protein and mineral levels
  • Aids drought tolerance and soil aeration
  • The Clover plants fix nitrogen to fertilise companion grasses and subsequent crops
  • Trials show a yield advantage of 1 tonne of DM/ha in the second harvest year compared to no Clover version

Red Clover mixtures for higher protein and reduced nitrogen input

The advantages of Red Clover are not always realised but in summary, offer three times the yield of a large leaved White Clover.

This yield comes at a cost however, as the species is not as persistent as White Clover and is therefore best used in 2-4 year leys.

A long, penetrating tap root allows Red Clover to withstand drought and be suited to lighter soils.

Seed Rate 12 to 14kg/acre
