Plant population is the main factor that will affect persistency and productivity. Essential to sow shallowly (10-15mm) when soil temperature is above 10 degrees. It has a tap root rather than stolons like white clover and cannot repopulate itself if damaged. It consists of phyto-oestrogenic compounds which can effect ewe fertility so shouldn't be grazed 6 weeks pre and post tupping.
