Profile
The diploid red clover variety MILVUS is a "Mattenklee" and is characterized by good yield potential with high dry matter yields in the 2nd main year of use. MILVUS achieves this through excellent persistence, which, combined with good sward density and competitiveness, allows high red clover percentages in the forage even in the second year of use. This enables MILVUS to assert itself in mixtures with high-performance grasses.
