      AberSheep

      AberSheep is a highly persistent clover mixture containing AberLasting from our DoubleRoot range. This is ideal for continuous or rotational grazing, upland and lowland.

      White clover’s strong creeping stem will make it more tolerant of grazing and enables the plant to store energy and protein over winter and into spring. It is also able to fix nitrogen, reducing the requirement and cost of fertiliser applications.

      White clover seed mix

      The Germinal white clover blends that have been bred at Germinal Horizon Aberystwyth are leading the way in producing higher yields and lasting longer. For example, newer varieties are achieving optimum targets of a 30-35% contribution to total sward dry matter under a range of grassland management systems.

      White clover is best grown as a companion to perennial ryegrass, the variety dependent on the sward’s primary use. Aber HSG mixtures are offered with clover as standard. In addition, clover blends are available to suit a particular farming system or requirement.

      The small leaf varieties found in AberSheep are best for continuous sheep grazing.
