Ladino clover

Japanese: ラジノクローバー(英語表記)Ladino clover
Ladino clover
A perennial legume cultivated for animal feed. It is a giant variant of white clover and is sometimes treated as a single cultivar group (Ladino type) of white clover. The leaves and flowers are similar in shape to those of ordinary white clover, but are two to four times larger. The seeds are about the same size. The number of inflorescences is relatively small. Its name comes from the town of Lodi in northern Italy, where it was cultivated. It attracted attention at the end of the 19th century and spread to temperate regions around the world. It grows quickly and is resistant to mowing, making it ideal for green feed, but because it contains a lot of water, it is best mixed with grasses or other grasses to use it as hay or silage.

Japanese:
飼料とするために栽培されるマメ科の多年草。シロクローバーの巨大化した変種で,シロクローバーの1品種群(ラジノ型)として扱われることもある。葉や花は普通のシロクローバーと同じような形だが,大きさは2~4倍となる。種子の大きさはほぼ同じ。花序の数は比較的少ない。北イタリアの町ローディLodiで栽培されていたのが名の由来で,19世紀末に注目され,世界の温帯各地に広まった。生育が早く,刈取りに強いので青刈飼料に最適であるが,水分を多く含むので干し草やサイレージとして利用するにはイネ科牧草などと混播(こんぱん)するとよい。
