Genetic Resilience for Grazing Pressure

Alice white clover, developed by Barenbrug Holland, is a specialized large-leaved type (Trifolium repens) specifically engineered for intensive agricultural use. Unlike standard small-leaved varieties, Alice exhibits a higher growth point and superior regrowth energy following grazing or mechanical harvesting.

Technical Nutritional Profile

The core advantage of this variety lies in its optimized biochemical composition. The plant is characterized by a significantly higher protein accumulation within the dry matter, which is critical for formulating balanced diets for ruminant livestock. The physical structure of the leaves and stems ensures that nutritional integrity is maintained even when harvest cycles are delayed.

Agronomic Solutions

• Grazing Tolerance: A robust root system and efficient vegetative reproduction via stolons enable the variety to recover rapidly under high-density grazing conditions.
• Dual-Purpose Versatility: The variety demonstrates excellent performance both as a component in grazing mixtures and as a source for high-quality green fodder.
• Adaptability: Barenbrug Holland’s breeding program ensures predictable response to fertilization and consistent development patterns across temperate climatic zones.

Integrating Alice into your forage production cycle allows for increased profitability per hectare by reducing reliance on concentrated protein supplements. Choosing this variety represents a strategic investment in pasture longevity and the stability of forage unit output throughout the entire growing season.
