FSG 402 RED CLOVER

  • High yield potential
  • Excellent forage quality
  • Longer stand persistence
  • Superior disease resistance
FSG 402 RED CLOVER

FSG 402 is an elite, new generation, diploid medium red clover developed for higher yields and longer stand persistence; three or more years under proper management. FSG 402 reaches 50% bloom at approximately the same time as Arlington and Kenland, and 4 days earlier than Marathon in the spring and performs extremely well over a wide geographic area under variable growing conditions. FSG 402 is highly resistant to northern anthracnose, southern anthracnose and powdery mildew while showing an improved level of field resistance to black patch (Rhizoctonia) compared to Arlington, Marathon, Kenland and Freedom. Whether it’s for pastures, silage or hay, FSG 402 can’t be beat when it comes to yield, quality, stand persistence and disease resistance
