What is clover? Is it coriander?

Clover is an annual or perennial herb in Leguminosae. The most widely distributed forage grass can also be used as green manure (see colored clover). Native to southern Asia Minor and southeastern Europe. There are about 360 species in this genus, of which about 25 species are of agricultural value, and 3 species, namely, red clover (T.pratense), white clover (T.repens) and scarlet clover (T.incarnatum)3) 3) are widely cultivated. In addition, there are T. hybrid, etc.

Red clover is also called red clover. Distributed in Europe, America, New Zealand, etc. It is also cultivated in the south of Huaihe River in China. The stem is erect or inclined, round, with concave-convex longitudinal stripes, and the height is 60 ~ 100 cm. There are pale white V-shaped markings on the leaflets, and the leaves are hairy and complete. Head, with more than 100 flowers, reddish purple, self-flowering. Pods are obovate with membranous pericarp, and each pod contains seeds 1 grain. The seeds are kidney-shaped or nearly triangular, yellow-brown, and the 1000-grain weight is about1.5g. ..

I like humid and warm climate, and I am more drought-resistant and cold-resistant. Suitable for the growth of cohesive soil with good drainage and rich calcium. The growth cycle is generally 2 ~ 6 years, and it is often shortened to biennial or annual under warm conditions. Red clover is a long-day crop, which can only blossom and bear fruit when the sunshine exceeds 14 hours. When used for livestock forage cultivation, it is generally mixed with Gramineae forage; Used as green manure or feed, often cultivated alone. Inoculation with rhizobia can obviously increase the yield. Sowing can be done in spring and autumn, and the sowing amount per hectare is about 15 kg. The row spacing of drilling holes is 20 ~ 40cm, and the depth is about 65438 0.5cm.. You can mow it 2 ~ 4 times a year. The stems and leaves are soft and slightly bitter. Fresh grass contains crude protein 4. 1%, crude fat/kloc-0.1%,crude fiber 7.7%, nitrogen-free extract 12.4% and ash 2.0%. The yield of fresh grass per hectare can reach 30 ~ 60 tons.

White clover is also called red clover. /kloc-was first cultivated in the Netherlands in the late 0/6th century, and now it is widely distributed in temperate regions. It is cultivated in the south and southwest of Huaihe River in China. Perennial herb, rooted in the ground. The stems are slender and soft, crawling on the ground, and the plant is 30 ~ 60 cm high. The petiole is long, the leaflets are obovate or nearly obcordate, and the leaf margin is serrated. The head has 10 ~ 80 flowers, white or purplish red. Pods are obovate and rectangular, and each pod contains 3 ~ 4 seeds. The seeds are nearly round and yellow, with 1000-grain weight of 0.5 ~ 0.7 g. They like warm and humid climate, wide adaptability and strong acid resistance. The soil with pH4.5 can still grow, and all kinds of soil with good drainage can grow except saline-alkali soil. Good reproducibility, trampling resistance, belonging to grazing grassland. Before flowering, fresh grass contains crude protein 5. 1%, crude fat 0.6%, crude fiber 2.8%, nitrogen-free extract 9.2% and ash 2. 1%. Although the yield is not as good as that of red clover, it has good palatability and high nutritional value.

Crimson clover is also called crimson clover. Originated in Europe, distributed in northeast Europe and North America. China Huaibei and the south of the Yangtze River are widely introduced and cultivated. It can be used as pasture, ground cover or green manure, and can also be used as idle crops. Annual or perennial herbs. The stem is round, hollow and about 70 cm high. Leaf blade is nearly round, with short hairs on both sides, large petiole, round and large stipules, and membranous. The head is cylindrical with crimson flowers. Pods are obovate and contain 1 seed. The seeds are round, yellow or brown, and the 1000-grain weight is 3.2 grams. I like warm and humid climate, barren land and shade tolerance. Fresh grass in bud stage contains crude protein 3.0%, crude fat 0.60%, crude fiber 4.7%, nitrogen-free extract 7.4%, and ash 1.7%.
