Balansa Clover
Balansa Clover is an annual cultivar that is able to naturally reseed for growth in future years. Balansa will tolerate heavy soil types and conditions. We recommend autumn sowing and it pairs well with Italian ryegrass for finishing lambs or as an option for under brassicas to give an extra boost to stock diets.
$12.45 – $18.45 excluded GST
Description
Pasture legumes, like clovers, are the key to the success of New Zealand’s pastoral systems. Nitrogen is maintained by the biological fixation of nitrogen gas from the air by rhizobium bacteria that reside in the root nodules of legumes, to supply nitrates for plant growth. While this theory is still dominant in New Zealand agriculture, particularly in intensive systems such as dairying, nitrogen can remain deficient with increasing amounts of nitrogen fertilisers applied.

Sowing rates
Due to the very small seed size, Balansa requires sowing with fewer kilograms of seed per hectare than many other clovers.
