Clover, the powerhouse addition to VATBUSTER pastures
When considering pasture options, don't forget about clover! 
We're continuing to see more and more clover added to mixes in the past 3-4 years due the introduction of higher quality and more sustainable clovers.
As many of you would already know for every tonne of clover dry matter grown per hectare, 25kg of nitrogen is fixed 
We've choosen white (and red) clover with high dry matter production potential that has the ability to perform as part of a mixed sward. Each of our premium clovers, Mantra White and Reaper Red have ALL been bred to perform within high performance ryegrass swards such as VATBUSTER.
The small amount of red clover we add to VATBUSTER has a deeper taproot compared to white giving it greater tolerance of summer dry conditions and provides significantly higher dry matter production during these periods than white clover.
Quality, late maturing ryegrasses in VATBUSTER
Our main aim is to grow feed every day moisture is available, and late maturing ryegrasses enable farmers to maximise a grasses production by keeping leafy late into the season.
With this in mind, late flowering cultivars of Stampede CM142 (+20), Base AR37 (+22) and 4Front NEA2 (+18) have been chosen to fit the brief of VATBUSTER and VATBUSTER ALLGRASS.
When compared to older types such as Nui and Vic, VATBUSTER on average goes to seed head 19-21 days later, providing a significant advantage in late spring as they maintain leafiness for longer.
