The average yield of dry matter in green mass reaches 94.2 ц/га with a dry matter content of 23.6%. Red clover METIS is distinguished by its good adaptation to the conditions of the central region, which ensures the stable production of high-quality fodder raw materials. Thanks to its biological features, the variety is resistant to adverse factors and is able to recover effectively after cutting, which makes it profitable for agricultural use. In addition, red clover is widely used not only in fodder production but also for decorative purposes, for example, for creating lawn coverings.
