BIG CLOVER..
Plant Morßed.
Morßed Red Clover possesses the qualities that lead toward a
top yielding, short rotation hay and grazing legume.
Combined resistance to both Northern and Southern
Anthracnose
Northern and southern anthracnose can kill or greatly reduce the stand life of red clover
High resistance to powdery mildew
Contributes to early fade-out and reduce s feed quality
Higher yield potential than Kenland or Kenstar
in 5 years ol testing Morßed
outyielded Kenland by 4° o
j Morßed
i i
At $lOO per ton for hay that s $lB 00 per year per acre more for Morßed
improved winterhardiness
The tougher a variety the better chance the crop has to produce throughout its expected
rotation
Vigorous growth and quick recovery
The higher the disease resistance the better the chance for the crop to fully express its potential
Seeding versatility
Morßed Red Clover is ideal for No-till pasture and meadow seedmgs in old grass stands Alone
for hay and pasture Morßed can also be seeded in standing small gram or on an early prepared
seed bed alone Morßed can be mixed seeded with grasses and small grams as part of a rota
tion or seeded m combination with other legumes—especially white clover along with grasses
for hay and pasture Farmers find that when used as part of a rotation red clover is helpful m
building the nitrogen level for the gram fraction of the rotation
