Clover Una

Serbian Breeding for Productive Longevity

The 'Una' clover variety from IFVCNS (Novi Sad) is a hallmark of Balkan breeding, specifically adapted to challenging climatic conditions. Developed by experts at the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops, this variety has become an essential tool for farmers focused on creating high-quality pastures and durable lawns with superior nutritional value.

Agronomic Profile and Productivity

The 'Una' variety demonstrates stability under intensive use. Thanks to its taproot system, the plant effectively utilizes soil moisture, ensuring predictable yields even during dry spells. Key performance metrics make it a profitable solution for intensive livestock farming:

• Green mass yield: 30–40 tons/ha, allowing for the formation of dense stands.
• Hay yield: 5–7 tons/ha, an excellent result for clover mixtures.
• Seeding rate: 10–12 kg/ha, ensuring optimal stand density without the risk of plant competition.

Why Professionals Choose 'Una'

The primary advantage of this variety is its high protein content, making it an indispensable component of the fodder base. Unlike many competitors, 'Una' possesses significant resistance to trampling. This feature elevates it from a standard fodder crop to an ideal choice for pasture-based livestock management. Additionally, its vibrant purple-pink inflorescences actively attract bees, turning grazing lands into a honey-producing conveyor. With a plant height ranging from 30 to 60 cm, the crop recovers easily after grazing, maintaining turf density and nutritional quality throughout several seasons.
