Subterranean clover raises soil fertility, supports erosion control, and enables a system where stock and cereal cropping combine for low-cost continuous production. Trials at Ruth erglen Farm show yields rise with clover rotations and nitrogenous manures, though results depend on land history and rotation type.

Clover Lay Farming for Wheat in Wimmera Regions
Subterranean clover lay systems could replace fallows in cereal rotations to maintain yields and soil fertility. Two crops on clover lay, followed by another lay period, may raise carrying capacity, cut production costs, and reduce soil erosion while eradicating pests and diseases with effective grazing and manure. Trials at Rutherglen show potential applicability to other districts where clover thrives.
