Description

Shaftal Persian Clover is a winter growing annual legume with an erect habit, thick hollow stems, large leaflets and developed with flexibility in mind (ideal for multi grazing or multi harvesting). Persian clover is known for its high density upright growth to 1m tall allowing for ease of management. Shaftal Persian Clover (Trifolium resupinatum) is self regenerating legume peaking in growth during spring so ideal for farmers targeting excellent regrowth from cutting or grazing.

Shaftal Persian Clover is suited to farms with seasonal irrigation and soils with moderate waterlogging and salinity risk. Red legged earth mite and lucerne flea need to be identified and controlled rapidly during establishment as they can severely impact Shaftal Persian Clover.
