Variety traits
Trifolium pratense L.
An indicator of red clover productivity determined by the volume of green mass, dry matter, and seeds. It depends on the variety's growth habit, moisture availability, and the duration of stand utilization.
In the reference 148 varieties crop Red clover, where this is mentioned in the description.
Red clover productivity is evaluated based on the quantity of green mass, dry matter, and seeds, accounted for by individual cuts. A green mass yield exceeding 45–50 t/ha is considered high, with maximum values for two cuts reaching 60–65 t/ha. Dry matter yield averages 6–10 t/ha, while seed productivity varies from 150 to 400 kg/ha depending on pollinator activity and weather conditions during the flowering period.
The crop's yield is closely related to its growth habit—single-cut or double-cut—and the age of the stand. Productivity peaks in the first year of utilization, whereas by the second year, it decreases by 20–40% or more, which determines the timing for reseeding. The crop is highly demanding regarding soil pH levels and moisture availability: on acidic soils, stand thinning occurs, leading to a sharp drop in yield.
