Clover DAUBYAY

Hybrid Clover DAUBYAY (Trifolium hybridum L.) is an annual plant from the legume group, widely used in agriculture. This variety was registered in 1962 and approved for cultivation in various regions of Russia, including the Northern, Central, Ural, and Far Eastern regions. Due to its adaptability, DAUBYAY is successfully grown in diverse climatic conditions and soils, making it a sought-after agricultural commodity.

The plant is distinguished by its resistance to excessive soil moisture and can withstand prolonged flooding, which sets it apart from meadow clover. However, it is less resistant to drought and grows poorly on dry sandy soils. DAUBYAY clover begins to grow earlier than meadow clover, allowing for early green fodder production. After mowing, the plant recovers better during grazing, although its regrowth capacity is not high. Hay from this clover is tender, does not turn black, and contains little dust, although the green mass and hay have a bitter taste, especially when harvested at the flowering stage.

Hybrid Clover DAUBYAY is a good nectar source and is widely used in animal husbandry as a source of green fodder and organic substances for soil improvement. Animals do not eat the green mass readily in its pure form, especially the flower heads, although consumption increases after flowering. Prolonged feeding with green mass to horses, especially those of light coat color, may cause skin inflammation and ulcers in the mouth, requiring caution in its use. Overall, the DAUBYAY variety is characterized by high yield, disease resistance, and minimal care requirements, making it valuable for agricultural production.
