Pasture legumes

Pasture legumes work best in mixed swards, lifting pasture quality and soil fertility at the same time. They fix atmospheric nitrogen to support companion grasses and may cut back fertiliser use, while their protein and digestibility improve animal performance. With deep roots and strong adaptability, legumes also add resilience, helping pastures handle pressure, extend the season and stay productive year after year.
