Explanation of table

Currently, there are no independent recommended list trials for Red Clover in the Republic of Ireland. England and Wales have an extensive trialling network, with Fearga performing as follows:

Fearga performs better than the mean of the recommended varieties for:

  • Yield in all three harvest years
  • Exceptional yield advantage in Year 3 inferring more remarkable persistence over existing varieties
  • The highest available mean yield compared to any of the existing recommended red clover varieties.
  • Better ground cover in year two and year three further conforming to improved persistence

Description

Feraga is the first-ever Red Clover variety to be bred under Irish conditions for Irish farmers. The breeding objectives of Fearga were to overcome poor yield and persistence to make Red Clover more reliable and attractive to use for farm systems. Fearga has proven better than the current standard in total yield and persistence. This is proven by independent results from the England and Wales recommended lists (See below)

By overcoming the challenges of red clover, Fearga will help increase Red Clover usage in our farm systems, reducing our dependence on imported chemical nitrogen and concentrate feeds. At such a crucial time, Fearga will better the environmental footprint of our animal production systems.

Feraga was bred using traditional breeding technologies. High performing Red Clover plants under Irish conditions and management were intercrossed at Teagasc OakPark, Carlow.

Leisure Lawn

Usage guide: Leisure Lawn Sowing rate: 25-30 g/m2 (100-120 kg/acre) Sowing time: April to late August Sowing depth: 10 mm Sowing instructions: Eliminate weeds well before preparing the seedbed, hand weed or use a suitable weed killer (seek advice from your local store). Create a good seedbed by digging the soil over to a depth of 15 cm and leave to settle, ideally for a few weeks. Remove weeds and excess stones. Rake over the whole area to create a flat, fine and friable seedbed. Firm the seedbed by rolling or treading the site evenly. Carry out two equal sowings at right angles to each other and diagonally to the main axis. Broadcast manually or use seed drill, rake level and roll. Ensure good seed to soil contact. Apply a suitable fertiliser to ensure adequate nutrients are available for the seed. After sowing:     
  • Control weeds if necessary
  • Take the first cut when the grass is 6-8 cm and mow down to about 3 ½ cm (or the highest setting your mower will cut to) this will help the lawn to thicken out
  • Over the next few weeks gradually reduce the cutting height down to 2 ½ cm.
Uses:@ Sowing a new lawn; restoring a lawn
