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 reduces feed quality Higher yield potential than Kenland or Kenstar In 5 years of testing. Morßed outyielded Kenland by 4% % % 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 tor 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 grains as part of a rota tion or seeded in 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 in building the nitrogen level for the gram fraction of the rotation Morßed BIG CLOVER YIELDS < 2.00 lower.
