Watch as Germinal experts Dr Mary McEvoy and Diarmuid Murphy discuss the roles, establishment and management of white clover and red clover.
They also cover the benefits of white clover in grazing systems: sowing white clover as part of a full reseed and oversowing white clover into established grassland. Then they cover the role of red clover in intensive animal production systems and best practices for successful establishment and management of white and red clover.
Mary and Diarmuid are joined by Sandra Hayes from Teagasc who shares her own valuable insights and experiences working with white and red clover.
