Clovers that boost DM intake, fix N naturally, and keep pasture humming through the season.

Clover isn’t just a filler — it’s the engine of productive, sustainable pastures. As a key legume in New Zealand grazing systems, clover naturally fixes nitrogen in the soil, reducing fertiliser costs and improving overall sward balance. Its high protein and energy levels make it a premium feed source that supports animal performance, particularly during late spring and summer when grasses begin to decline.

Vernado’s clover options deliver vigorous establishment, strong persistence, and reliable regrowth across a range of conditions. White clover varieties offer long-term performance in permanent pastures, thriving under rotational grazing, while red clover adds quality and yield in hay and silage systems. Together, they enhance pasture density, boost feed quality, and support soil structure through their root activity and nutrient cycling.
