A new gland clover variety will be available next year that will give sheep producers in medium rainfall zones greater versatility. Prima gland clover is an early maturing variety, similar to Dalkeith subterraneum clover, which was developed from germplasm originally collected in Israel. This means that the variety will work well in a range of rotational systems. Another plus is that it can be harvested easily with conventional machinery. Prima production requirements are the same as for other clovers, which require good weed control with a knockdown herbicide prior to sowing and adequate phosphate and potassium fertiliser.
