Clover VOLOSOVSKIY 86

Consistent green mass yields in challenging conditions

The 'Volosovsky 86' clover is a strategic choice for farms focused on intensive forage production with minimal risk of crop loss. Developed by the experts at 'Belogorka' (a branch of the A.G. Lorch Potato Research Center), this variety is specifically engineered for regions with high humidity and frequent fungal disease outbreaks. Its primary value lies in its rapid regrowth capability after mowing, allowing for a stable harvest of two full crops per season.

Defending against soil-borne infections

In high-intensity crop rotations, clover is often vulnerable to fusarium and root rots. 'Volosovsky 86' possesses strong genetic resistance to these pathogens, as well as anthracnose, which is crucial for maintaining stand density into the second and third years. By selecting this variety, you eliminate the need for extra fungicide applications and reduce the risk of patchiness in your fields.

• Rapid Recovery: After cutting or grazing, the clover accelerates its growth, making maximum use of available soil moisture.
• Nutritional Quality: Ideal for haylage and hay production, maintaining high protein levels within forage mixtures.
• Disease Resistance: Comprehensive immunity ensures the crop remains productive even during rainy summers when the pathogen load is at its peak.

This is a practical solution for livestock enterprises requiring a reliable source of protein. While undemanding in terms of agrotechnical requirements, the variety performs best on cultivated sod-podzolic soils, where other crops might otherwise suffer from waterlogging or fungal infections.
