THAT'S ROCK SOLID
Quartz
medium leaf white clover
- Excellent fit across multiple farm systems

- Versatile option that has broad adaptability across a range of conditions
- Used in pasture, specialist and renovating pasture mixes
- Excellent persistence from high stolon density (relative to leaf size)
Grasslands Quartz is a persistent, medium leaf white clover with broad adaptability across environments and farm systems. Quartz performs well under dairy, sheep and beef grazing management. When compared to Bounty white clover, Quartz offers higher dry matter yields and increased stolon density for even greater persistence. Quartz has been trialled throughout New Zealand and performed well.
Sowing and establishment
Quartz white clover can be sown at 4-6 kg/ha following recommended pasture establishment procedures. Quartz performs best in moderate to high soil fertility. The use of Superstrike® clover seed treatment will improve seedling establishment.
