Variety traits
Maturity group — alsike clover
Trifolium hybridum L.
There are no standardized maturity groups for alsike clover. Crop development is assessed through the dynamics of phenological stages, such as flowering and head browning, due to the species' biological characteristic of a prolonged flowering period.
In the reference 4 varieties crop Alsike clover, where this is mentioned in the description.
Alsike clover lacks a universally accepted system for classifying varieties into maturity groups. Instead, breeding and variety trials use descriptive characteristics, such as classification and duration of flowering, as well as the stages of seed head browning, which are necessary for determining harvest dates.
The species possesses specific biological dynamics: it flowers 4–7 days later than red clover, yet full seed maturity occurs 11–16 days earlier. The crop's development rate is primarily considered when selecting components for grass mixtures in order to synchronize mowing times with other species.
