Companion clover for top performing forage cultivars

Moa Persian clover seed grower John Redmond

Moa Persian Clover is a top flowering cool season annual legume which performs well as a companion clover. It is later flowering than other Persian clovers, enabling the plant to produce higher quality vegetative feed longer into the growing season. We recommend sowing Maimai Ryecorn at 100 kg to the hectare and Moa Persian Clover at 4kg to the hectare for sheep grazing, hay or silage production.

To produce a highly digestible and nutritious feed, we recommend Italian Ryegrass and Moa Persian sown in the autumn. Sow Italian Ryegrass at 15kg to the hectare and Moa Persian at 4 kg to the hectare.

Moa Persian clover is ideal as a companion clover for Italian ryegrass, Intimidator Oats or Maimai Ryecorn

Moa Persian Clover is very upright in its growth habit which also makes it an excellent companion for Intimidator Forage Oats.

John Redmond grew the Moa seed crop last year and enjoyed rapid dry matter production over the growing season.
