Red clover is very well suited to most soil types, except for very poor, acidic, or waterlogged soils (with the water table at the surface). It has a taproot system, which makes it very drought-resistant.
Red clover can be used as a monoculture or mixed with other perennial grass species, being an important component in these mixtures.
Red clover is also resistant to low winter temperatures. It is used as: green fodder, hay, or silage.
The recommended sowing rate is 18 – 20 kg/hectare (in pure stands), with a recommended sowing depth of 1.5 – 2 cm, and a row spacing of 12.5 – 13 cm.
The optimal sowing period is early spring or late summer, early autumn, and its persistence in the soil is 2 – 3 years.
The production potential is 30 – 50 tons/ha of green fodder (6 – 10 tons/ha dry matter), and 2-3 cuts can be achieved per year.

Sowing period: early spring or late summer, early autumn;
Sowing depth: 1.5 - 2 cm, with a row spacing of 12.5 - 13 cm.
