Persian clover (annual) ACCADIA (coated seeds)

• Fast-growing, leafy, delicate-stemmed clovers that can grow to the height of red clovers
• Extremely high yield
• The yield potential of the first harvest – high
• Flowering – late
• Can be grown for grazing, green fodder or silage production, green fertilizer
• Since the crop can be cut several times, these clovers are best grown in mixtures with Westerwolds (annual) ryegrass
• Produces an exceptional yield of protein fodder
• The highest energy value and digestibility is fixed at the beginning of flowering
• Can produce 3.0-4.0 t/ha of dry matter when grown as a catch crop
• Strong root system and easily decomposable above-ground plant part contribute to soil protection and erosion control, making it an excellent choice for green manure
• Can also grow in dry calcareous soils
• Sowing can be done when the danger of frost has passed
• Sufficient heat and humidity are needed during the development stage to obtain a high yield

• First yield of dry matter – 6 points (out of 9)
• Beginning of flowering – 8 points (out of 9)
• Plant height in the early growth stage – 6 points (out of 9)
• Stem length when fully developed – 7 points (out of 9)
• Development after sowing – 5 points (out of 9)
• Tendency to lodging – 3 points (out of 9)
• Raw protein content – 6 points (out of 9)

The advantages of coated seeds:

• Allows more precisely to incorporate small size seeds with low sowing rate
• Protect seed from mechanic stress caused by sowing machines
• Protect seed from birds and insects - in fact coating components are not toxic but they don’t even attract them
• The extra-resistance of the coating avoids dust leakage and dust accumulation in the sowing machine
• Have less hard-seed content which means higher immediate germination percentage on the establishment of crop
