Arrowleaf Clover
Arrowleaf clover is an annual legume used for both grazing and fodder conservation (hay or silage). It exhibits good cold tolerance and germinates well at low temperatures. It is well suited to loam and sandy soils with acidic pH, where its deep tap root can penetrate up to 1.5m into the ground thus sourcing moisture from lower in the soil profile.
Forage Pea
Forage Pea is an annual, cool season legume with an upright- or prostrate- growth form. Forage Peas have a dual purpose, namely used for grain- and as a diverse forage crop. Legumes have the ability to fix atmospheric Nitrogen, reduce the N requirements of the species in a blend as well as the follow-up crop.
Grazing Vetch – Cover Crops
Grazing vetch aka Woolly pod vetch is an annual or biennial (rarely) leguminous plant. It produces most of its growth during autumn, winter and spring. It is most commonly used as grazing or hay production.
Serradella
Serradella (Ornithopus spp.) is one of the most important annual legumes for pastures. Its growth pattern is similar to that of sub clover but generally performs better on sandy acidic soils. It also grows well on many loams and non-acidic soils.
