Ladino White Clover C& I
Ladino White Clover Coated & Inoculated is the large type of white clover, producing more nitrogen per acre than any other white clover type. It's also valued for its strong forage quality, particularly in poorly drained soils where many other legumes struggle. Ladino plants can grow two to four times taller than intermediate white clovers like Dutch White, though that taller, less compact growth habit also makes Ladino somewhat less durable under heavy traffic or grazing pressure.
This version comes pre-inoculated with a clover-specific Rhizobium, so nitrogen fixation begins as soon as the seed germinates — no separate inoculation step needed before planting.
