LEMMON

Dutch breeding for high forage productivity

The Lemmon red clover variety from Barenbrug Holland represents the gold standard in European plant breeding. Developed in close cooperation with the Belgian research institute ILVO, this variety is engineered to provide maximum nutritional value and high dry matter yields for intensive livestock farming.

Agronomic profile and key features

Lemmon displays the classic red clover traits refined to perfection by Barenbrug’s experts. Its taproot system provides excellent drought tolerance and efficient nutrient uptake from deep soil layers, making it a reliable component for long-term grass mixtures.

• Usage: Forage crop suitable for both haymaking and intensive grazing.
• High yield of green mass and dry matter.
• Superior adaptability to diverse European soil and climatic conditions.
• Fast regrowth capacity after cutting.

Barenbrug Holland’s reputation as a world leader in grass breeding ensures that every batch of Lemmon seeds meets strict purity and germination standards. This variety is the preferred choice for farmers who prioritize feed consistency—from protein content to animal palatability.

Market positioning

In the modern forage market, Lemmon occupies the premium segment for professional agribusiness. Unlike local landraces, this variety delivers predictable, repeatable results, which is critical for planning the feed requirements of dairy farms. By integrating Lemmon into their operations, farmers can significantly reduce their reliance on expensive concentrates, ensuring their livestock receives high-quality, homegrown plant protein.
