Description
Mantra White Clover is a new generation very large leafed white clover, with semi-erect growth habit, high stolon number and thick stolons. Improved autumn and winter activity to match high yielding pastures, Mantra White Clover is ideal component of dairy, beef, sheep and silage mixes – such as our premium Vatbuster mix – with legumes making up 20% of the mix.
