Persian Clover (Trifolium resupinatum) - eNhance Persian Clover is an annual legume that originated in the eastern Mediterranean area. It has a semi-upright growth habit. Persian clover will perform well on a wide range of soils and will tolerate poorly drained soils. It works well in grazing situations, but care should be taken as it can cause bloat. eNhance Persian Clover is possibly the most fragrant of all the clover species with a pleasantly sweet scent that may attract wildlife and livestock alike.

eNhance Persian Clover features improved root development speed, which in turn makes it more suitable for sandy soils than the typical persian clover. eNhance prefers soils that are slightly alkaline but is suitable for use in soils with a pH between 5.0 and 8.0. It has a moderate tolerance to salinity and  a notable root development speed that is similar to that of Daikon Radish making it highly suitable for sandier soils.

Improved seedling vigor allows eNhance to establish at a rate similar to Cereal Rye. The low C:N ratio makes it a good choice to mix with Cereal Rye as the contrasting ratios provide balance and help reduce the yield drag often experienced in corn following a cereal rye crop

Regrowth - eNhance Persian Clover has high forage yield and excellent regrowth following grazing or cutting. eNhance can be cut 2 to 3 times, but not closer than 4 inches to allow for vigorous regrowth. In irrigated fields the optimum cutting interval is approximately 6 weeks in the growing season, allowing dry matter yields of 5-6.5 tons an acre.

Grazing - eNhance is a very palatable and nutritious clover that works well in close grazing situations, but care should be taken as it may cause bloat. Sowing eNhance in a mixture with things like ryegrass or oats may reduce this risk. In trials, eNhance performed incredibly well, generating over 3,000 lbs. of dry matter per acre.

Wildlife Plots - eNhance Persian Clover is known to be highly digestible with excellent forage yield and feed value with crude protein levels ranging from 18-24%. . With high protein levels, the ability to regrow when grazed, and abundant flowers, eNhance is a great addition to food plots and wildlife habitat

Versatality - eNhance Persian Clover can be used as a cover crop for nitrogen production and weed control or as a forage in mixtures with other legumes and grasses.

Moisture Requirements - eNhance Persian Clover is best adapted to areas receiving 17+ inches of precipitation. eNhance is also tolerant of moderate periods of waterlogged soils.

Fertilizer & Establishment - eNhance is adapted to a wide range of soils from clay loams to heavy clay soils and tolerates poor drainage. The best growth is on alkaline soils, but it will grow well with a pH range of 5.0 to 8.0.

Later Maturity - eNhance Persian Clover matures approximately 21 days later than Dixie Crimson Clover, while still producing greater overall growth throughout the growing cycle. This later maturity allows for multiple cuttings or grazing.

Cold Tolerance - While most Persian clovers are not very cold tolerant, eNhance Persian Clover was bred to endure low temperatures and harsh conditions. In trials at our Southern Iowa Research Farm, eNhance performed exceptionally well, enduring temperatures as low as -15° F.
