When we initiated the microclover research program we had some clear ideas about the nitrogen supply etc. but with time we discovered many other positive and surprising qualities of clover used for turf.
Many years of breeding and selection have resulted in revolutionary microclovers which contain all the benefits of tiny micro leaves.
Microclover “spoonfeeds” the grass with nitrogen. This makes the lawn healthy and vigorous. Optimal growth, together with low growing grasses, results in a nice grassy look.
The healthy and dense growth of clover and grass together crowds out weed and prevents new ones establishing.
Tolerant to Close Mowing
No other white clover types tolerate close mowing like microclover does. This is linked to the unique dense structure of microclover stolons.
Microclover has been bred to stay green all year round. The healthy growth of the accompanying grasses contributes to the overall attractive green colour which remains throughout the year.
It is very hard to think of a more environmentally friendly product with such benefits! Also because there is less need for fertiliser and irrigation, this is a low maintenance, low cost solution.
These tiny Microclover produce their own source of natural nitrogen which feeds the grass constantly, keeps it healthy and reduces the need for watering. The result is a nice looking, green lawn during summer whereas pure grasses turn yellow. The clover itself also stays green, even if the growth has stopped for a period.
