Trifolium incarnatum, commonly known as Crimson Clover, is a member of the Fabaceae family and is native to Europe. It is often used as a cover crop due to its ability to fix nitrogen in the soil. The plant produces striking crimson flowers and is typically grown in temperate regions. It has a dormancy period during the colder months.
Crimson Clover thrives in full sunlight and requires moderate temperatures. It prefers soil that dries out partially between waterings and does well in environments with moderate humidity. This plant is relatively easy to care for and is well-suited for outdoor growth.
محصول
Crimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum) is typically harvested when the flowers are in full bloom, which usually occurs about 70-90 days after planting. To harvest, cut the plants at the base using a sickle or scythe, or with mechanical harvesters for larger fields. It is important to harvest before the seeds fully mature and shatter to ensure maximum yield and quality. After cutting, the plants should be left to dry in the field for a few days before being collected and stored. Proper drying is essential to prevent mold and ensure the longevity of the harvested material.
