Zulu ll | Arrowleaf Clover

Zulu II Arrowleaf Clover (Trifolium vesiculosum) is a highly palatable annual legume well-suited for pasture systems aiming to boost forage quality and nitrogen fixation. With its upright growth habit and low bloat risk, it offers a valuable option for livestock producers looking to diversify their winter forage mix.

Upright growth habit
A low bloat risk
Suited for a range of soil types providing they have a pH of 5.0 - 7.0
Intolerant of waterlogged soil
Very sensitive to red-legged earth mite as a seedling
Very slow to establish with little winter growth
The seed should be sown in autumn into a well prepared, weed free seedbed
The seed is small and is very sensitive to being sown too deep (<10mm)

While Zulu II offers many agronomic benefits, careful management is essential to ensure successful establishment. It does not tolerate waterlogged soils and is highly susceptible to red-legged earth mite damage during early growth stages. To maximise performance, sow in autumn into a well-prepared, weed-free seedbed and avoid sowing the small seed too deep—less than 10 mm is ideal. Farmers should also be aware of its slow early development and plan accordingly to integrate it effectively into their grazing systems.
