Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Introduced, cool-season, annual, hairless, semi-erect legume, with thick hollow stems. Leaves have 3 obovate leaflets, each strongly veined, toothed and on stalks of equal length. Flowerheads are ball-shaped clusters of many pink to violet pea-like flowers. Flowering is in spring and early summer. A native of Europe, the Mediterranean and SW Asia, it is sown as an annual fodder. Best suited to clay soils with a pH(Ca) between 5 and 8 and is tolerant of moderate salinity. Requires a medium-high winter rainfall or irrigation and is tolerant of waterlogging. An alternative to Berseem Clover, it provides both a high potential nitrogen input to soils and high quality cool-season feed. Can produce high forage yields with good regrowth potential after cutting, but needs irrigation or good spring rains to maximise late spring growth. Soft seeded, so requires annual sowing. Causes bloat in cattle; sometimes photosensitisation. Make hay/silage in spring.
