Arimaci White Clover: A Foundation for Resilient Pastures

Developed through the collaborative efforts of the Lithuanian Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry, specifically by researchers M. Strukcinskas and A. Svirskis, the 'Arimaci' white clover variety has earned a solid reputation for its reliability and productivity. Today, UAB Dotnuva Baltic acts as the breeder and provider, ensuring that the seed material maintains the high genetic standards required for professional agricultural applications.

Engineered for High-Traffic Pastures

What sets 'Arimaci' apart is its remarkable resilience to physical stress. Unlike common varieties that may degrade under heavy grazing pressure, 'Arimaci' is specifically selected for its resistance to trampling. This makes it an ideal choice for intensive livestock operations where pasture longevity is paramount. With a plant height ranging between 30 and 60 cm, it creates a robust, protein-rich stand that serves both as a reliable pasture crop and an excellent source of high-quality green fodder.

Key Advantages for Livestock Producers

• Disease Resistance: A significant focus of the breeding program was internal protection; the variety demonstrates high resistance to anthracnose, helping to prevent stand thinning and ensuring consistent yields.
• Versatile Usage: Whether utilized for rotational grazing or harvested for green manure/forage, 'Arimaci' shows exceptional adaptability to various management styles.
• Soil Health: As a high-performing legume, it contributes to natural nitrogen fixation, supporting soil fertility and reducing dependency on synthetic fertilizers.

By choosing 'Arimaci' from UAB Dotnuva Baltic, farmers gain access to a proven genetic solution that balances nutritional quality with mechanical endurance. It is a strategic long-term investment for any livestock system looking to maximize yield while minimizing the recurring costs associated with pasture renovation and re-seeding.
