Grazing management and nutrition
To promote quality clover growth, good grazing management is required, this includes ensuring adequate light is reaching the base of the pasture to prevent shading. This is especially important for white clover cultivars that have slow winter growth. Red and white clovers are commonly both included in pasture mixes because of their forage quality, particularly over summer.
