Clover is the backbone of productive New Zealand pastures. Known for its nitrogen-fixing ability, high feed value, and persistence, it delivers both animal performance and soil health benefits. With balanced growth and strong grazing tolerance, clover keeps pastures thriving year after year.

Why Choose Clover?

• Natural Nitrogen Fixation – Reduces fertiliser costs by fixing atmospheric nitrogen into the soil.

• High Feed Quality – Excellent digestibility, energy density, and palatability for all stock classes.

• Persistent & Productive – Dense stolons provide reliable ground cover and resilience under grazing.

• Flexible Mixing – Works well with ryegrasses, herbs, and companion species in mixed swards.

• Animal Friendly – Highly palatable, improving milk and meat yield.

• System Efficiency – Supports soil health and sustainability while lowering input costs.

The Payoff for Your Farm

• Cut Fertiliser Bills – Natural nitrogen reduces reliance on bagged N.

• Boost Animal Performance – High-energy, palatable forage that drives production.

• Strong Persistence – Maintains feed supply under grazing and seasonal pressures.
