  Clovers

  Clovers are valued in pastures for their high feed value and ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen. White clover is very widely used in most farm systems. In some systems red clover is sown for its summer yield or annual clovers for their earlier spring growth.

  Chicory

  Plantain

  Is a short-lived, deep-rooted herb, which can be sown as a crop, an 18 month finishing pasture, or in a pasture mix. An animal diet of 30% plantain can reduce nitrogen leaching over diploid perennial ryegrass, however how this is practically achieved on most farms is unclear.
