Red clover as a pure stand for silage can bring benefits

Red clover (Trifolium pratense) has many benefits, such as the ability to fix nitrogen thanks to the symbiotic Rhizobium bacteria in its root nodules, it improves biodiversity, and it has favourable characteristics as a feed component in ruminant diets. However, the persistency of red clover is poor in Boreal swards and the leys seldom last longer than two years.
