Red Clover (Trifolium incarnatum L.) is a medium-maturing variety intended for the production of green mass, widely used both as a pure crop and in grass mixtures. The plant is characterized by a short-medium stem height and medium thickness, with trifoliate leaves of medium length and width. The inflorescences have a bright red color and a cylindrical shape, which gives the plant decorative appeal. The yield of green mass reaches 200-225 ц/га (c/ha), with a dry matter content of approximately 26-35%, ensuring high nutritional value of the feed.
Red Clover is a valuable forage crop used to obtain green fodder, silage, and hay. Thanks to its long and highly branched roots, it contributes to enriching the soil with nutrients, making it an effective cover crop in crop rotation. The plant is well adapted to various climatic conditions and is recommended for cultivation in a wide range of regions in Russia, including the North, North-West, Central, Volga-Vyatsk, Central-Black Earth, North Caucasus, Middle-Volga, Lower-Volga, Ural, Western Siberia, Eastern Siberia, and the Far East.
Sowing of Red Clover can be carried out in both spring and autumn, with a sowing rate of 10 to 30 кг/га (kg/ha) depending on the purpose - for flowers or as cover crops. The plant forms a bushy stem reaching approximately 50 cm in height, which facilitates care and harvesting. Thanks to its forage and agronomic qualities, the Rokasi variety is a reliable choice for farmers seeking to increase productivity and the quality of the feed base.
