White clover (Trifolum repens) is a winter hardy, perennial legume that has the potential to produce very high livestock production. Cultivars are often classified by their leaf size. Large leaves are often associated with a more upright growth habit, have less stolons/m squared and are more suited to lax grazing systems. Small leaved cultivars often have high numbers of stolons/m squared and short growth habits, making them better suited to continous grazing at high intensities. In the arable cropping rotation, white clover provides an excellent break crop for grass species with the potential to return moderate quantities of nitrogen to following arable crops.
