Birdsfoot trefoil for grazing and harvesting forage |

Birdsfoot trefoil grows well in poorly drained, acidic soils where alfalfa production is difficult (pg. 1). Animal performance on trefoil is excellent when compared to unimproved grass and improved grass plus NPK (pg. 7). Trefoil is better used for rotationally grazed pastures than for hay since its yields will decline under continuous
harvesting, and baling is very time sensitive. Variety selection, seed mixtures, establishment, herbicide options, fertilizer needs, weed management techniques, diseases, and common insect pests are also covered. |
