Designed for continuous and rotational grazing systems
Aggressive stolen activity
Excellent seedling vigor
Improved drought tolerance
Widely adapted
Winterhardy
Resolute is an intermediate white clover that was developed from a western Georgia ecotype population. This ecotype population was selected based on its persistence under grazing and under summer-drought and heat stress in that region. Resolute has outstanding persistence when compared to other intermediate and ladino white clovers and will successfully persist in tall fescue and bermudagrass grazing systems over a long period of time. Resolute has higher forage production when compared to other intermediate white clovers and higher total forage production than ladino white clovers in long term tests. The persistence of Resolute, coupled with its ability to give greater percentages of clover in available forage supply, results in higher animal gain when compared to ladino cultivars.
Seeding Rate: 6-8 lbs./Acre alone, 2-4 lbs./Acre in mixtures
PINNACLE LADINO CLOVER
Resistant to leaf diseases and field viruses
High forage yields
Ideal for pastures
Superior persistence
Excellent seedling vigor
Aggressive stolon activity
Drought tolerant
Widely adapted
Pinnacle is a new ladino clover variety developed for today's high performance pasture needs. Look for excellent establishment and seedling vigor along with cool season productivity and the aggressive season long growth necessary to maximize grazing. Pinnacle has a very upright growth habit with numerous fine stems and large dark green leaves. This variety was bred for superior persistence and can stand up to leaf disease and virus pressure. Pinnacle is adapted throughout the United States and Canada, wherever ladino clovers are grown.
Seeding Rate: 6-8 lbs./Acre alone, 2-4 lbs./Acre in mixtures
PARDEE BIRDSFOOT TREFOIL
Vastly improved winter survival over other trefoil varieties
Heaving tolerant
High level of Fusarium wilt resistance
Upright growth habit
Earlier flowering than Norcen
Fast recovery after cutting
Higher yield over life of stand than other varieties
Developed by Cornell University
Performs on poorly drained soils
Widely adapted with proven performance, Pardee birdsfoot trefoil was developed by the Cornell University Agricultural Experiment Station in Ithaca, NY. This upright, hay-type variety has an earlier maturity than both Norcen and Viking. Pardee was derived from a mixture of trefoil varieties and plant introductions. This genetic material was selected for vigor and resistance to Fusarium wilt. The result is a forage with greater disease resistance, better stand persistence and higher yields.
Pardee can be used on poorly drained soils but will perform well on good soils, too. It has vastly improved winter survival over other trefoil varieties and recovers quickly after cutting. All of these characteristics contribute to higher yields over the life of the stand when compared to other varieties. In 1999 yield trials in New York, Pardee was the highest yielding variety in the first production year, was 37% more resistant to Fusarium wilt than unselected experimental varieties and 17% more resistant than Norcen and had the greatest number of plants per square foot in the first production year.
