Companion grassesOur Choice of Partners in Mixtures with Microclover
The first rule in our mixture design approach is to choose the most appropriate species for the area of use.
Fine leaved and dense types of perennial ryegrass. Microclover grows quite aggressively and suits these newest high quality perennial ryegrasses very well.
Strong creeping types of red fescue are mainly used if the mixture contains perennial ryegrass.
Slender creeping red fescue and chewings fescue are used more intensively in a mixture without perennial ryegrass. These types are more competitive in a mixture with microclover.
Smooth stalked meadow grass is an ideal partner for the more continental climates. Smooth stalked meadow grass grows less aggressively and is an ideal specie to mix with microclover in areas which receive a lot of wear.
In dry areas microclover can ideally be added to a tall fescue / smooth stalked meadow grass mixture.
