Red clover is an important forage, horticultural, and ecological crop, but its complex genome has long slowed precise trait discovery and molecular breeding.

The Genome Analysis Centre (TGAC) in collaboration with IBERS, has sequenced and assembled the DNA of red clover to help breeders improve the beneficial traits of this important forage crop. The ...

Since World War II, the tiny wildflower has been sidelined as a weed and duly killed off by petrochemical herbicides designed for large-scale crop production and perfectly manicured lawns. But the ...

WINTER cereal fertiliser bills can be cut by 25% if best use is made of forage break-crops, claims one college farm manager. Where winter wheat follows a break-crop of Italian ryegrass and red clover, ...

Before industrial nitrogen fertiliser production (from fossil fuels), red clover and other legume crops were essential in crop rotation, improving soil fertility. Legumes boost soil nitrate fertility ...
