The second part of in-depth exploration of multiple legume species, 129 days after planting. Legume species planted include: hairy vetch, crimson clover, balansa clover, medium red clover, berseem clover, white clover & vernal alfalfa.

Vernal alfalfa is a hardy perennial legume valued for its drought tolerance, winter hardiness, and high-quality forage. After evaluating this variety during a 175-day trial, here is a summary of the key characteristics we observed.

Increase pasture productivity, attract and feed wildlife, reduce fertilizer cost, capture free nitrogen, dilute toxic fescue pastures, and control erosion with Renovation White Clover.

In Newton, MS, we walked through the annual clover plots. Note that much of what these videos show at this time is regrowth ability and maturity differences.

Some observations from a cover crop trial in South Carolina that turned into a grazing trial.

We conducted a bucket study of Renovation White Clover in June 2017. In this video, we look at some of the growth habits, characteristics, and features of Renovation White Clover.

In Winnsboro, LA, we visited the annual clover trial just before its third cutting. The white and red clovers were thriving, and some of the experimental crimson clover varieties showed great promise.

We conducted a bucket study on Kakariki White Clover in June 2017. In this video, we look at some of the growth habits, characteristics, and features of Kakariki White Clover.

In this video, we’re comparing two berseem clover varieties: Balady 1 and Lightning. These observations offer hands-on insights into the distinct characteristics of single cut versus multi-cut clovers.
