Balansa clover (Trifolium michelianum) is an annual, self-regenerating forage legume introduced from Turkey and has been used in Western Australia since the mid 1980s. Low to moderate tolerance to saline soils. Balansa clover provides valuable grazing for livestock, can be conserved as forage and improves crop yields through nitrogen fixation.
Hard seeded annual that exhibits high spring production and excellent water logging tolerance. Will have limited regeneration if cut for late silage or hay. Sets large amount of seeds therefore good for regeneration under appropriate grazing management. Suited to medium to high rainfall areas.
